When to call us in Ditton Hill
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Schools such as Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our regrouting in Ditton Hill
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We are often asked to deal with grout that makes sound tiles look old and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Ditton Hill, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Surface by surface

We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Regrouting in Ditton Hill: local notes
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. 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.
As a London address, Ditton Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Letting a property close to Surbiton station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Ditton Hill
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a flat in Ditton Hill, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
FAQs for Ditton Hill
I let a flat near Surbiton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Ditton Hill?
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.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
