How we handle regrouting in Addington
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you are dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Addington, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Addington. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Regrouting around Addington
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.
Letting a property close to West Wickham station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Applegarth Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Common questions in Addington
Do you work for landlords with property near West Wickham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
I live in a flat in Addington. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Why it’s worth doing now in Addington
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Addington, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Signs you need regrouting in Addington
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Addington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
