About our regrouting in Rettendon
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you are dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and wet rooms alike.
Around Rettendon, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What regrouting looks like in Rettendon

When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Rettendon needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Rettendon: your questions answered
Is Rettendon in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rettendon is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rettendon?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rettendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What affects the cost of regrouting
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Signs you need regrouting in Rettendon
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
If you let a flat or house near Battlesbridge station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

- What insurance they hold
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
