Regrouting in Moreton, done properly
Across Moreton, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with grout that makes sound tiles look old and crumbling grout between the tiles, across shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Around Moreton, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Moreton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access

Common problems we fix in Moreton
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Schools such as Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Moreton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Moreton
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Moreton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

Common questions in Moreton
Is regrouting in Moreton guaranteed?
All our work, in Moreton and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Moreton for regrouting?
Yes, Moreton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
