Regrouting in Scragged Oak

Can I do it myself?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

Regrouting in Scragged Oak, done properly

Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.

Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How we quote for regrouting

You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • The number and length of the joints
  • The number of rooms or windows

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • How we’d reach the joints
  • Where the property is
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

If you’re in Scragged Oak and need regrouting, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before we start.

What we’re called out for in Scragged Oak

A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.

People usually contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Grout that is cracking and breaking up

Letting a property close to Bearsted station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • How long to leave it before use
  • Is VAT in the price?

Choosing a sealant specialist

Leave it or put it right?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Scragged Oak can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Scragged Oak, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
  3. We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How the job changes by surface

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

Shower walls

A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

In the older streets around Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How to look after the new joints

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Wipe water off the walls when you are done
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower

Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.

Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
