Regrouting in Mount Bures, Essex
Problem with your tiled areas in Mount Bures? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Mount Bures, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google

How we handle regrouting in Mount Bures
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We are often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
For a small place like Mount Bures, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Mount Bures as everywhere else we work.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Regrouting around Mount Bures
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Bures station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Mount Bures, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
