What we cannot put right

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not solve:

  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Newchurch

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and grout in corners that has cracked.

In a village or hamlet like Newchurch, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Regrouting around Newchurch

Newchurch is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.

Managing a site like Newchurch Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Check the corner silicone every few months

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.

Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

What happens on the day

When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Newchurch, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice

Signs you need regrouting in Newchurch

Most 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’s used every day.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Grout in corners that has cracked

Letting a property close to Sandown station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common questions in Newchurch

Can you do regrouting in Newchurch?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newchurch 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 price.

I let a flat near Sandown station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.

Should I try DIY first?

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.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Is there any odour?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

How the job changes by surface

Shower walls

Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

Bathroom wall tiles

Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

DIY versus a professional finish

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.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Why deal with it now?

Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newchurch, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
