DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Tonwell
We work across Tonwell, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and splashback grout that has darkened, on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Tonwell, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Other services in Tonwell
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Tonwell can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Tonwell homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Ware station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Tonwell, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote

Advice
When to call us in Tonwell
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Managing a site like Tonwell St Mary's Church of England Primary School? Then 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 the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Common questions in Tonwell
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ware station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Tonwell in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Tonwell is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out at the start.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
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.
