Regrouting in Margaretting Tye, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout washed out of a shower, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Somewhere as small as Margaretting Tye, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Margaretting Tye needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Signs you need regrouting in Margaretting Tye
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
