About our regrouting in Swallows Cross
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you are dealing with shower grout that has worn away and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Swallows Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Other services in Swallows Cross
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Swallows Cross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why act early in Swallows Cross
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swallows Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

How much does regrouting cost in Swallows Cross?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I wait before showering?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
What we’re called out for in Swallows Cross
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as Shenfield High School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
