How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep the fan on after showering
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting in Nettlebed
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have grout washed out of a shower and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can put it right, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Somewhere as small as Nettlebed, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Nettlebed, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Common problems we fix in Nettlebed
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Managing a site like Nettlebed Community School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.

Nettlebed questions
Is Nettlebed within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take on hotel work around Nettlebed?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What regrouting looks like in Nettlebed
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Nettlebed. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. 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. In a small place like Nettlebed, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
