- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Regrouting in Rowhedge
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Smaller places like Rowhedge still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Rowhedge
Do you work for landlords with property near Wivenhoe station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Rowhedge?
Yes. Rowhedge is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you need regrouting in Rowhedge?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Look out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Letting a property close to Wivenhoe station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Rowhedge homes and their sealant
Rowhedge is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like St Lawrence Church of England Primary School? Then 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. Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Rowhedge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear the area around the work
