Rake out and Re-grout

Rake out and Re-grout. It is like Teeth Whitening for your Tiles

As us Brits are continually reminded by American TV our once lovely pearly whites have suffered from coffee/tea drinking, cigarette smoking, cola gulping, red wine slurping, curry munching, dentist phobia, inability to use dental floss ways. Following years of this most enjoyable abuse they are left more yellow than pearly. Luckily for us all teeth whitening services are offered on almost every high street and dentists are always willing to grind down your own teeth and stick on some lovely new veneers. So if you wish to turn your nose up at the stereotype of a yellow toothed pom then simply take an hour out of your day to get the years of discolouration stripped away and smile like a yank while you enjoy your next murg masala and bottle of red.

The grout between your bathroom and kitchen tiles suffers a similar discolouration effect as your teeth. After some years of soap, lime-scale and condensation abuse the once pristine tiled bathroom wall starts exhibiting a more yellowish hue between the tiles or even worse a network of mould and mildew.

Fear not, all is not lost. There are years of pristine left in those tiles. The answer is to get rid of the stains. Using an oscillating multi tool fitted with a diamond coated blade we grind away all the old discoloured grout from between the tiles. Once all the offensive mouldy yellow grout is removed we apply a brand new layer of fresh grout between the tiles. The end result is like teeth whitening for tiles.

Usually we combine the re-grouting service with the replacing of the silicone seal around the bath, basin and/or shower tray in order to really breathe a second life into a bathroom.

Expect the rake out and re-grout service to take 4-8 hours, depending on the area of the tiled surfaces. Resealing a bath or shower tray will add 1-2 hours to the work.
