About our regrouting in Ulting
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Ulting, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Ulting: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Hatfield Peverel station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Ulting, access is generally 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.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Ulting
I let a flat near Hatfield Peverel station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ulting?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Landlord and commercial work in Ulting
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ulting, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.

- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
