How we handle regrouting in Starling's Green
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, across shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
Homes around Starling's Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Starling's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Do you need regrouting in Starling's Green?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Managing a site like Clavering Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What preparation is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Starling's Green: your questions answered
Is Starling's Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Starling's Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in Starling's Green?
Yes, Starling's Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What we cannot put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Starling's Green
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Newport (Essex) station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around Church of St Mary and St Clement, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
