Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Regrouting in Minster
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for splashback grout that has darkened and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Minster, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Minster homes and their sealant
Minster is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Minster station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Your questions about regrouting in Minster
Do you work for landlords with property near Minster station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Minster?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Minster is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Minster
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Schools such as Minster Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Minster, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
