If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help, whatever the surface.

Regrouting in Navestock Side: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Brentwood station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Navestock Side can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Common problems we fix in Navestock Side
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Look out for these signs:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Splashback grout that has darkened
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What affects the quote in Navestock Side
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Navestock Side, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

I let a flat near Brentwood station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
