How we handle regrouting in Matching Green
We work across Matching Green, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges.

For a small place like Matching Green, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Signs you need regrouting in Matching Green
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Matching Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Matching Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare

- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Matching Green questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sawbridgeworth station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Matching Green within the area you cover?
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.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Matching Green?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
