Regrouting and resealing in Rainham, where damp river air is hard on bathrooms. Grout renewed, sealant cut out and rerun, and the mould behind it treated.
Near the river the silicone goes first and the grout follows, and both look far worse than the bathroom actually is. Replacing them is a day's work and it is what most tired Rainham bathrooms genuinely need.
Rented flats near the river in Rainham turn over regularly, and a regrout and reseal between tenants is one of the quickest ways to make a bathroom ready for the next let. It takes a day, uses little material and removes the mould that new tenants notice first.
The old grout comes out to a proper depth and new grout goes in. Patching over cracked lines just gives the damp somewhere new to get in.
Every scrap of the old bead removed and the joint dried out before resealing. In a bathroom that has been damp for years, the drying is the part that cannot be rushed.
Black spots in the silicone are usually growing on the wall behind it, and near the river they come back fast. The surface underneath is treated before anything is resealed.
Most bathrooms are finished in a single day, where retiling the same room would take the best part of a week.
Regrouting and resealing booked in the gap between lets, so the bathroom looks fresh for viewings.
Not in a way that lasts. New grout needs somewhere to grip, and a skim over cracked old grout breaks up within months, which in a damp Rainham bathroom lets the water straight back behind the tiles.
Damp air with nowhere to go, which near the river is common. Replacing the silicone fixes the look; without decent extraction it comes back. We will say so rather than take the money twice.
If it is mould in the silicone, yes - that is exactly the job. If the wall behind is actually damp, which near the river it sometimes is, regrouting hides it rather than fixing it and we will say so.
Yes, and it is the easiest time. With nobody using the bathroom the silicone can cure properly, and the room is ready for photos and viewings the next day.
It removes the stained grout and silicone, but mould returns if the room stays damp. Good extraction and wiping down after showers are what keep the new grout clean.
