Quotes for regrouting in Shortfield Common

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • The size of the job
  • The number of rooms or windows

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Where the property is
  • The type of property
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Whether it has been sealed before

If you are in Shortfield Common and need regrouting, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

What happens if it’s left?

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We will tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Shortfield Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

How the visit works

At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Shortfield Common, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice

Shortfield Common homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Rented homes near Farnham station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Edgeborough School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Shortfield Common: your questions answered

Is Shortfield Common in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Shortfield Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

I let a flat near Farnham station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.

Landlords and letting agents in Shortfield Common can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Honest limits

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms
  • Tiled floors
  • Shower walls
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom floors

Different surfaces, different methods

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.

Bathroom wall tiles

Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
