Regrouting for homes and businesses in Blackfen
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. 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 Blackfen, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are chipped or split
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Blackfen
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Blackfen?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I live in a flat in Blackfen. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
How long should I wait before showering?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What we are called out for in Blackfen
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Blackfen is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Blackfen
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. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Falconwood station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Blackfen. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
