- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Tyttenhanger, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and grout washed out of a shower, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Tyttenhanger, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tyttenhanger can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Your questions about regrouting in Tyttenhanger
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Albans station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Tyttenhanger?
Yes. Tyttenhanger is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.

What else we do in Tyttenhanger
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Tyttenhanger, access is often the only tricky part.

Signs you need regrouting in Tyttenhanger
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift

Regrouting around Tyttenhanger
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Nicholas Breakspear School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Mark, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
