How we quote for regrouting

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • How many areas need sealing
  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The amount of work
  • Any mould that needs treating

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

Helping us quote

To make quoting easier, let us know:

  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Regrouting in Thong

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and grout in corners that has cracked.

Homes around Thong 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thong

It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Thong, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Take a look at what affects the cost and customer reviews.

Do you need regrouting in Thong?

When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Grout that is cracking and breaking up
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Riverview Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Your questions about regrouting in Thong

Do you cover smaller places like Thong?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you work for landlords with property near Sole Street station?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.

Do the sealants smell?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.

How long will you be here?

A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

When can I use the shower again?

You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

If you manage several properties in or around Thong, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.

Thong homes and their sealant

Thong is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Sole Street station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

When something else is needed

Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:

  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

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

How it works

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, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Thong 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.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
