Lyford Regrouting

- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
How we handle regrouting in Lyford
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and floor grout that won’t come clean, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Lyford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Lyford, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What affects the quote in Lyford
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed

Signs you need regrouting in Lyford
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
In and around Lyford, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
Your questions about regrouting in Lyford
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Lyford?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover Lyford for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lyford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How much does regrouting cost in Lyford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lyford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What else we do in Lyford
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Lyford homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
