How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a London area like Elephant and Castle, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Elephant and Castle
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you are dealing with cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help, on shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Elephant and Castle, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.

Common problems we fix in Elephant and Castle
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you let a flat or house near Elephant & Castle station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Elephant and Castle
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. Elephant and Castle has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Metropolitan Tabernacle, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as London College of Communication, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.

How the job changes by surface

We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
