Your questions about regrouting in Brompton
Do you work in hotels near Brompton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I live in a flat in Brompton. 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. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
About our regrouting in Brompton
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you have grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help, 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 Brompton, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What regrouting looks like in Brompton
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. London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near London Victoria station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Hellenic College of London are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What we’re called out for in Brompton
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Simon Zelotes, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Why act early in Brompton
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. 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.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In Brompton, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
