How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Margaretting needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we handle regrouting in Margaretting
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Around Margaretting, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

Regrouting around Margaretting
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Anglo European School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Margaretting questions
I let a flat near Ingatestone station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Margaretting in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Margaretting is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
