About our regrouting in Elder Street
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked.
Being in a small place like Elder Street makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Elder Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Elder Street
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Elder Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

FAQs for Elder Street
Do you cover Elder Street for regrouting?
Yes, Elder Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Elder Street?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?

What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Elder Street homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
