Regrouting in Dulwich
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you are dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right, on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Dulwich, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

FAQs for Dulwich
Do you work for landlords with property near West Dulwich station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Dulwich?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What regrouting looks like in Dulwich
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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Christ's Chapel of God's Gift, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near West Dulwich station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Signs you need regrouting in Dulwich
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Anthony's Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
