Regrouting for South Stour homes and businesses

How it works

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like South Stour needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any tricky access
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Regrouting in South Stour

Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.

In a village or hamlet like South Stour, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Questions from South Stour

Do you cover South Stour for regrouting?

Yes, South Stour is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like South Stour?

Yes, South Stour is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

We can. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.

How long does the job take?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.

Landlord and commercial work in South Stour

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.

Keeping the joints in good condition

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

  • Check the corner silicone every few months
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly

Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.

Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Damaged tiles that need replacing

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What the job involves on each surface

Corners and edges

We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.

Bathroom floors

New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

Signs you need regrouting in South Stour

Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Good tiles let down by tired grout
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Finberry Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What your quote should include

  • How long to leave it before use
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What happens if the job turns out different

Choosing a sealant specialist

What affects the cost of regrouting

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • The number and length of the joints
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out

Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • The type of property
  • Where the property is
