Regrouting for homes and businesses in Nine Ashes
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
For a small place like Nine Ashes, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

FAQs for Nine Ashes
Is Nine Ashes in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Nine Ashes is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ingatestone station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Regrouting around Nine Ashes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Blackmore 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. If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why act early in Nine Ashes
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Nine Ashes, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Do you need regrouting in Nine Ashes?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Laurence, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
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.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
