- Good tiles let down by tired grout
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Puttock's End needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we handle regrouting in Puttock's End
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked.
Somewhere as small as Puttock's End, 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Puttock's End homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Takeley Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What else we do in Puttock's End
Why act early in Puttock's End
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Puttock's End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
What we are called out for in Puttock's End
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Letting a property close to Stansted Airport station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
