Regrouting in Stocking Pelham

About our regrouting in Stocking Pelham

A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and cracked grout along the bath or tray.

For a small place like Stocking Pelham, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When something else is needed

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

• A leaking shower valve or waste
• A floor or wall that keeps moving
• Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we seal

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

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

• Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
• Wipe water off the walls when you are done
• Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
• Get any tile that moves checked promptly

Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

What we are called out for in Stocking Pelham

When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

• A grout colour that no longer suits the room
• Grout that is cracking and breaking up
• Floor grout that will not come clean
• Grout stained black or orange that will not clean

In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we do, step by step

There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Stocking Pelham 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. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Getting ready for the visit

• Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
• Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
• Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
