How we handle regrouting in Polstead Heath
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and people most often call us about cracked or crumbling grout lines and splashback grout that has darkened.
For a small place like Polstead Heath, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Polstead Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Polstead Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- We never seal over old sealant
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Over 20 years’ experience

What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Polstead Heath: your questions answered
Can you do regrouting in Polstead Heath?
Yes, Polstead Heath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Polstead Heath?
Yes, Polstead Heath is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Polstead Heath, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
