Regrouting in Alvescot
Professional regrouting in and around Alvescot, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
About our regrouting in Alvescot
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Homes around Alvescot are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Alvescot, 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.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can

Alvescot: your questions answered
Can you do regrouting in Alvescot?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Alvescot is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is regrouting in Alvescot guaranteed?
All our work, in Alvescot and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Alvescot
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Alvescot homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's Church of England School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
