About our regrouting in Swan Street
We work across Swan Street, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you have floor grout that has worn and darkened and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right.
Homes around Swan Street 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: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Swan Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the quote in Swan Street
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Swan Street: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Swan Street in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swan Street is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Have loose tiles looked at early
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
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 happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Swan Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Do you need regrouting in Swan Street?

Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Schools such as Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What regrouting looks like in Swan Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of St Barnabas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
