Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wicken Bonhunt

A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.

In a village or hamlet like Wicken Bonhunt, 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.

You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one

Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.

Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Questions from Wicken Bonhunt

Will you come out to Wicken Bonhunt?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newport (Essex) station?

Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Will it make a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

Can you change the grout colour?

It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.

Does someone need to be in?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.

Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.

What sealant work can’t fix

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:

  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Where we work in Wicken Bonhunt

  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Shower walls

How the job changes by surface

Shower walls

The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

Kitchen splashbacks

A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

What we’re called out for in Wicken Bonhunt

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
  • Floor grout that will not come clean
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Grout in corners that has cracked

If you look after a building such as Joyce Frankland Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Before booking anyone

  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • Are they insured?
  • When the joint can take water or movement

Wicken Bonhunt homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

Rented homes near Newport (Essex) station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to Church of St Margaret include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

The process

You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a small place like Wicken Bonhunt, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish

Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
