How we handle regrouting in Stisted
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you have floor grout that has worn and darkened and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Stisted makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Stisted, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Questions from Stisted
Is Stisted within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Braintree Freeport station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Signs you need regrouting in Stisted
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
