We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Malting Green are handled the same careful way.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Malting Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
Do you need regrouting in Malting Green?
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
Rented homes near Colchester Town station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Common questions in Malting Green
Will you come out to Malting Green?
Yes. Malting Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Malting Green for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Malting Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
What regrouting looks like in Malting Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Alderman Blaxill School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
