Regrouting in Wareside
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you’re dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can help, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls alike.
Somewhere as small as Wareside, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Wareside, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Wareside questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ware station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Wareside?
Yes, Wareside is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a small place like Wareside, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Regrouting in Wareside: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Wareside Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Common problems we fix in Wareside
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Rented homes near Ware station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
