How we handle regrouting in The Willows
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Common call-outs are for floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and wet rooms.
For a small place like The Willows, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

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 biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Do you need regrouting in The Willows?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Splashback grout that has darkened
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.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like The Willows needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for The Willows
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Mountfitchet station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to The Willows?
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 reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before we start.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Regrouting around The Willows
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Furneux Pelham Church of England School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
