Regrouting in Picket Piece

Regrouting in Picket Piece

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you are dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help, whatever the surface.

Smaller places like Picket Piece still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Picket Piece

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you look after a building such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, 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.

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

How it works

There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. In a smaller place like Picket Piece, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice

Surface by surface

Bathroom floors

Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

Bathroom wall tiles

Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damaged tiles that need replacing
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about regrouting in Picket Piece

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Andover station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.

Will you come out to Picket Piece?

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.

How long will you be here?

That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.

Do I need to be at home?

That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

What do you put in the joint?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Will there be a smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

For landlords and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Picket Piece and across Hampshire. Several sites can go on one quote.

Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What affects the quote in Picket Piece

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The product the joint needs
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Any working-time requirements on site

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Where the property is
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before we start.

When to call us in Picket Piece

A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Floor grout that won’t come clean
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Grout that is cracking and breaking up

If you let a flat or house near Andover station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • Which colour the sealant will be
