About our regrouting in North Weald Bassett
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are splashback grout that has darkened and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Around North Weald Bassett, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in North Weald Bassett as everywhere else we work.

North Weald Bassett questions
Do you cover smaller places like North Weald Bassett?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in North Weald Bassett?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Regrouting in North Weald Bassett: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Andrew's CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

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 are chipped or split
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a smaller place like North Weald Bassett, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.

- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
