  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift

Regrouting in Soldridge

Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We are often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on bathroom floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.

Somewhere as small as Soldridge, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Can I do it myself?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Regrouting in Soldridge: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Around Soldridge, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

FAQs for Soldridge

Can you do regrouting in Soldridge?

Yes, Soldridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Soldridge?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

Do you grout the corners?

Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Can you regrout just the shower?

Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.

Does someone need to be in?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • Cracked or broken tiles

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

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Wipe water off the walls when you are done
  • Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Have loose tiles looked at early

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Do you need regrouting in Soldridge?

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Floor grout that won’t come clean
  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What to look for in a quote

  • How hidden problems are handled
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
  • What insurance they hold

What happens if it’s left?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Soldridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Why book with us

  • Neat joints and a tidy finish
  • 12-month guarantee on every job
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work

The process

Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Soldridge, 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. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move anything stored near the joints
