Regrouting in Messing
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Common call-outs are for grout that makes sound tiles look old and floor grout that won’t come clean, across bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
Around Messing, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Signs you need regrouting in Messing
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob

Messing homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Messing Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints (messing), walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Messing, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Messing
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Why act early in Messing
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Messing, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
