How we handle regrouting in Addiscombe
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help, on bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Addiscombe are no different.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
If you’re in Addiscombe and need regrouting, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.

Addiscombe questions
I let a flat near Norwood Junction station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Addiscombe?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Addiscombe?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Addiscombe
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Oasis Academy Shirley Park are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Addiscombe can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Addiscombe is about 2 miles north-east of Croydon, in Greater London.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Signs you need regrouting in Addiscombe
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
If you let a flat or house near Norwood Junction station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
