Regrouting for homes and businesses in Abinger Bottom
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We’re often asked to deal with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Abinger Bottom, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Abinger Bottom
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Belmont Prep School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Abinger Bottom, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
What regrouting looks like in Abinger Bottom
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What else we do in Abinger Bottom
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Abinger Bottom: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Gomshall station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Abinger Bottom?
Yes. Abinger Bottom is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
