Regrouting in St Leonards

Regrouting in St Leonards, done properly

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Common call-outs are for splashback grout that has darkened and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors.

Plenty of homes in a town like St Leonards have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.

All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.

Bathroom wall tiles

Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

The process

A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In St Leonards, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.

  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. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly

Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

When to call us in St Leonards

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change

For landlords with property near St Leonards Warrior Square station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • What the quote includes, VAT included or not
  • How the colour is chosen

Your questions about regrouting in St Leonards

Can you do regrouting in St Leonards?

Yes, St Leonards is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Will there be a smell?

Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

What information do you need?

A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.

How long does the job take?

Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.

What sealant work cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • A leaking shower valve or waste

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Regrouting in St Leonards: local notes

St Leonards is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Leonard's Church of England Primary Academy, 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.
