Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
About our regrouting in Stone
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. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Around Stone, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Stone is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What we’re called out for in Stone
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
For anyone letting property in or around Stone, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Why act early in Stone
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a smaller place like Stone, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
