How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Oak Corner, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
About our regrouting in Oak Corner
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Oak Corner, 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.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
What regrouting looks like in Oak Corner
Oak Corner is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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.
Letting a property close to Thorpe-Le-Soken station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Leonard, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common questions in Oak Corner
I let a flat near Thorpe-Le-Soken station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Oak Corner?
Yes, Oak Corner is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oak Corner can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
