Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy:

  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
  • Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.

Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.

How we handle regrouting in Thornborough

Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have cracked grout along the bath or tray and splashback grout that has darkened, we can help, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms alike.

Somewhere as small as Thornborough, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Thornborough homes and their sealant

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.

Schools such as Thornborough Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Why act early in Thornborough

New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Thornborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Thornborough questions

Do you cover Thornborough for regrouting?

Yes, Thornborough is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.

Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Thornborough?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?

Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.

What sealant do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Can you change the grout colour?

Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

How the visit works

At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Thornborough, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed clean.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How the job changes by surface

Shower walls

Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.

What affects the quote in Thornborough

We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • How easy the joints are to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
