How much of my Longton bathroom grout needs to come out?

The wet-zone joints (tray, bath, sink) always. Wall field grout only where it's genuinely discoloured. We won't sell a full regrout if only 30% is failed on a Longton job.

How long does a reseal take?

Full reseal and partial regrout: 1-2 days on-site plus 24h silicone cure before use on Longton bathrooms.

Will the mould come back?

Not from the sealant — we use fungicidal high-modulus silicone with a 10-year mould warranty. It only returns if there's a wider extract/damp issue, which we'll flag at survey.

Do you match existing grout colour?

Yes — colour-matched by sample on Longton regrouts. Bright white can be replaced with a matching grey or beige where the original has aged.

Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?

Always. After a free home visit in Longton we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.

How quickly can you get to a leak in Longton?

We aim to be on-site for water-leak callouts in Longton within 24 – 48 hours; same-day where we can.

Sometimes a Longton bathroom doesn't need refitting — it just needs the silicone stripped, the grout re-cut and the joints reset. A proper reseal transforms a room that looks tired but is actually structurally fine.

We strip the old silicone chemically rather than tearing at it (which damages tile glaze), rake the grout to fresh material, and re-set with an anti-fungal high-modulus sealant. Two days on-site, ten-year warranty on the silicone.

Longton is one of the areas we work in most weeks — so bathroom repairs jobs here come with a working knowledge of the street layouts.
