About our regrouting in Ugley
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you’re dealing with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Ugley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Ugley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions

FAQs for Ugley
Do you cover smaller places like Ugley?

What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
Which products 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’ll tell you what we’re using.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ugley
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.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ugley
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ugley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Regrouting in Ugley: local notes
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.
Rented homes near Elsenham station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
