Trusted regrouting in Maidenbower

Should I try it myself first?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What we are called out for in Maidenbower

When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.

Common reasons people contact us include:

  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Shower grout that has worn away
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles

For landlords with property near Three Bridges station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Your questions about regrouting in Maidenbower

Do older homes in Maidenbower need their sealant replacing?

If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s generally worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Maidenbower may already be on their second or third set.

Will you come out to Maidenbower?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Can you change the grout colour?

Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Will there be a smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.

Can I do it myself?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

How we quote for regrouting

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How many areas need sealing
  • When we can work, for business premises

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Whether it has been sealed before

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Maidenbower

If you manage several properties in or around Maidenbower, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.

Why deal with it now?

Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Homes in smaller places like Maidenbower can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.

Shower walls

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.

Regrouting around Maidenbower

Maidenbower is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as Brook Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Nicholas' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Maidenbower, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Mention any tricky access
