What we’re called out for in Wickhambreaux

Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
  • Splashback grout that has darkened

In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Our hiring checklist

About our regrouting in Wickhambreaux

We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and shower walls.

For a small place like Wickhambreaux, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

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

What regrouting looks like in Wickhambreaux

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Wickhambreaux. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

If you look after a building such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Different surfaces, different methods

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.

Shower walls

Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

How we quote for regrouting

We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • Access and height
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Working hours on commercial sites

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • The type of property
  • What’s wrong with the joints now

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.

DIY versus a professional finish

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Why act early in Wickhambreaux

Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wickhambreaux, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

When something else is needed

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Wickhambreaux: your questions answered

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Wickhambreaux?

Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Do you work for landlords with property near Bekesbourne station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.

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

Yes, that is common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

How long should I wait before showering?

We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.

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 work begins.

How long will you be here?

Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.

What we do, step by step

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Wickhambreaux needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

How to prepare

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
