Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
How we handle regrouting in Matching Tye
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Matching Tye, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Matching Tye
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- How long to leave it before use
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Matching Tye, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Advice
Matching Tye: your questions answered
Is Matching Tye in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Matching Tye is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Harlow Mill station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out at the start.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
