Regrouting in Rayne
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you are dealing with old grout in a dated colour and grout washed out of a shower, we can help, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles alike.
For a small place like Rayne, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Rayne
Do you cover smaller places like Rayne?
Yes, Rayne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in Rayne?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rayne is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What does regrouting cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
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.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Rayne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Rayne
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that will not come clean
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that’s 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.

What else we do in Rayne
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Rayne
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.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Rayne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
