How we handle regrouting in Well End
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as Well End, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Well End as everywhere else we work.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Well End, 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 check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Well End
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Well End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Well End homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as Hertswood Academy, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
