Bathrooms and kitchens in Windmill Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints (inworth), timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Baynards Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How we handle regrouting in Windmill Hill
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We are often asked to deal with shower grout that has worn away and grout in corners that has cracked, on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
For a small place like Windmill Hill, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Windmill Hill questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Kelvedon station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Windmill Hill?
Yes, we do. 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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Windmill Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Common problems we fix in Windmill Hill
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Letting a property close to Kelvedon station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Windmill Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Old sealant always removed completely
