What regrouting looks like in Peldon
Peldon is within about 2 miles of 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Wivenhoe station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How we handle regrouting in Peldon
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Peldon, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Peldon, 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.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.

Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Peldon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
