About our regrouting in Marks Tey
Across Marks Tey, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Around Marks Tey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marks Tey can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Marks Tey
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Marks Tey questions
Will you come out to Marks Tey?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Marks Tey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Marks Tey, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
