The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Tolleshunt D'Arcy, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
How we handle regrouting in Tolleshunt D'Arcy
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about crumbling grout between the tiles and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Somewhere as small as Tolleshunt D'Arcy, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Tolleshunt D'Arcy homes and their sealant
Tolleshunt D'Arcy is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Questions from Tolleshunt D'Arcy
Is Tolleshunt D'Arcy within the area you cover?
Yes, Tolleshunt D'Arcy is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in Tolleshunt D'Arcy?
Yes, Tolleshunt D'Arcy is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we will tell you before any work starts.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
When to call us in Tolleshunt D'Arcy
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Schools such as Tolleshunt D'Arcy St Nicholas CofE VA Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep the fan on after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
