Grout Cleaning & Sealing in Glastonbury, CT

No. Cleaning and sealing are maintenance on existing tile. Nothing structural changes and no new work is installed. If the job turns into regrouting, or if plumbing has to move, that is separate work permitted through the Town of Glastonbury Building Inspection and Zoning at Town Hall, 2155 Main Street, Glastonbury. We tell you before work starts if anything in your scope crosses that line.

A penetrating sealer on a dry floor or a backsplash generally lasts three to five years before it wants reapplying. A shower floor or a high-traffic kitchen floor wears out first, so there we tell people to reseal every one to two years. A quick test: put a few drops of water on a joint. Sealed grout beads it, grout that has worn off drinks it straight in.

Often, yes. A pigmented sealer sits on the surface of the joint, evens out the color and blocks future stains, at a fraction of the cost of removing and replacing grout. It is the right call when the joints are intact but permanently stained. If the grout is cracked, crumbling or missing, regrouting is the only thing that fixes it, and we will say so rather than sell you a coating over a problem.

The warranty on the work is 1 year, in writing. We are a registered and insured Connecticut contractor. CT HIC #0706534, verifiable through the state HIC lookup, and we are rated five stars on Google. Estimates are free, and if your floor needs regrouting rather than a clean and seal, we will tell you that before we start.

We price it per square foot after measuring the area, because that is the only honest way. The condition of the grout and the size of the job both move it. Cleaning and sealing together is usually a fraction of what regrouting costs, and it is the right call when the tile itself is sound. Call and we will come out and give you a written number.
