Regrouting in Romney Street

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Romney Street

Across Romney Street, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We’re often asked to deal with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.

Around Romney Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Should I try it myself first?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Regrouting in Romney Street: local notes

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When to call us in Romney Street

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

People generally contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

If you let a flat or house near Shoreham (Kent) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What to look for in a quote

  • What insurance they hold
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • Whether you can choose the colour

10 questions to ask before you book

Surface by surface

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.

Shower walls

Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.

What affects the quote in Romney Street

For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

  • How many areas need sealing
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • 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. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What to tell us for a quote

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • Where the job is, and your postcode

Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Questions from Romney Street

Do you work for landlords with property near Shoreham (Kent) station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Can you do regrouting in Romney Street?

Yes, Romney Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.

How long does regrouting take?

That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.

Is it messy?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

When can I use the shower again?

The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers

Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.

Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

The process

There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Romney Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

How to prepare

  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Move anything stored near the joints
