About our regrouting in Wix
We work across Wix, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes around Wix are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Wix questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Wrabness station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 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.
Is Wix in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wix is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What else we do in Wix
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
How the visit works
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. Somewhere as small as Wix, 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 for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
Signs you need regrouting in Wix
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
- What happens if the job turns out different
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Regrouting in Wix: local notes
Wix is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Wrabness station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
