Dulwich Village questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near North Dulwich station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Dulwich Village. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Dulwich Village?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
About our regrouting in Dulwich Village
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you are dealing with old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Common problems we fix in Dulwich Village
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Homes close to St Barnabas' Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Comparing quotes
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use 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 and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Dulwich Village, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Regrouting around Dulwich Village
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. 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.
If you look after a building such as Dulwich Hamlet Junior School, 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. As a London address, Dulwich Village can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
