How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Regrouting in Throcking, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about old grout in a dated colour and grout washed out of a shower.
In a village or hamlet like Throcking, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Questions from Throcking
Do you cover smaller places like Throcking?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Throcking in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Throcking is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Throcking 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
What regrouting looks like in Throcking
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Freman College, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Throcking, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
