About our regrouting in Risinghurst

Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with grout washed out of a shower and grout in corners that has cracked, across shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.

In and around Risinghurst, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Risinghurst as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Risinghurst

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Schools such as Bayards Hill School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

The process

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Risinghurst, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice

Why deal with it now?

Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In an older home around Risinghurst, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

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.

Why book with us

  • Old sealant always removed completely
  • 180+ five-star Google reviews
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Your questions about regrouting in Risinghurst

I let a flat near Oxford station. Can you help?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Risinghurst?

Yes, Risinghurst is covered. We work across 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 regrout just the shower?

Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

Do I need to be at home?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.

Which products do you use?

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

What affects the cost of regrouting

We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Whether the work is at height

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

What we’re called out for in Risinghurst

A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Grout that is cracking and breaking up
  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Grout in corners that has cracked

If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
