Regrouting in Abinger: local notes
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Belmont Prep School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Regrouting in Abinger
Across Abinger, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout in corners that has cracked, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Abinger, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Abinger
I let a flat near Gomshall station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Abinger in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Abinger is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Abinger
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Abinger, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Abinger
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abinger, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
