Coombe Hill Regrouting
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Coombe Hill and across Greater London. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Coombe Hill.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

About our regrouting in Coombe Hill
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you are dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Coombe Hill more than a cosmetic job.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Regrouting in Coombe Hill: local notes
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. 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.
If you look after a building such as Robin Hood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. 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 start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
Signs you need regrouting in Coombe Hill
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
If you let a flat or house near Norbiton station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Your questions about regrouting in Coombe Hill
Can worn sealant in a flat in Coombe Hill cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work for landlords with property near Norbiton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
