How we handle regrouting in Ridgewell
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you’re dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Ridgewell, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Regrouting in Ridgewell: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Lawrence, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we are called out for in Ridgewell
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ridgewell Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
- Is VAT in the price?
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Ridgewell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Common questions in Ridgewell
Do you cover Ridgewell for regrouting?
Yes, Ridgewell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Ridgewell?
All our work, in Ridgewell and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Quotes for regrouting in Ridgewell
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
