DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Regrouting in Totham Hill, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Totham Hill 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Have loose tiles looked at early
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Totham Hill: your questions answered
Is Totham Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Totham Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Witham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Quotes for regrouting in Totham Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Regrouting around Totham Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Witham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Totham Primary School, 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.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Totham Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
