- Cracked grout along the bath or tray

- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Rochford, done properly
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have a grout colour that no longer suits the room and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Most bathrooms in a town like Rochford are in family homes, used every day, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.

Signs you need regrouting in Rochford
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Teresa's Catholic Primary School, 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.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Rochford
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rochford. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Rochford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
