About our regrouting in Oxley Green

Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you are dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right.

Somewhere as small as Oxley Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need regrouting in Oxley Green?

Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Floor grout that will not come clean
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Oxley Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY sealant or a professional job?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

How the job changes by surface

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.

Kitchen splashbacks

We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

Oxley Green: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Kelvedon station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Can you do regrouting in Oxley Green?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oxley Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Can you regrout just the shower?

Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

How long does regrouting take?

Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose

Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • A leaking shower valve or waste

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
