Regrouting in Caterham, Surrey
We cover Caterham for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Regrouting in Caterham
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have grout washed out of a shower and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a town like Caterham, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Caterham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Caterham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Caterham station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Sacred Heart Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

FAQs for Caterham
Can you do regrouting in Caterham?
Yes, Caterham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caterham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Caterham, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Common problems we fix in Caterham
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Managing a site like Hillcroft Primary School? Then 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.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
