Coombe questions
Can worn sealant in a flat in Coombe cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Coombe?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How much does regrouting cost in Coombe?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Coombe
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Common call-outs are for cracked grout along the bath or tray and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on bathroom floors, shower walls and tiled floors.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Coombe, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Coombe can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.

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 London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, 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.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Coombe
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. 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.
Managing a site like Coombe Hill Junior 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. For landlords with property near Norbiton station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. As a London address, Coombe can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- 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.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit

- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
