What we’re called out for in Merle Common
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Schools such as Holland Junior School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.

- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
