Regrouting in Shalmsford Street
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for splashback grout that has darkened and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Homes around Shalmsford Street range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

The process
There is not 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 from start to finish. Parking around Shalmsford Street is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
Landlords and agents in Shalmsford Street can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- 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
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Do you need regrouting in Shalmsford Street?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Schools such as Chartham Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Regrouting around Shalmsford Street
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Chartham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
