DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our regrouting in Roydon Hamlet
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a 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 work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are grout in corners that has cracked and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
For a small place like Roydon Hamlet, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Roydon Hamlet as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Roydon Hamlet
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Roydon Hamlet
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Roydon Hamlet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Regrouting in Roydon Hamlet: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Roydon Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Roydon station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Roydon Hamlet questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Roydon station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover smaller places like Roydon Hamlet?
Yes. Roydon Hamlet is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
