Regrouting in Elmstead
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Typical jobs include grout in corners that has cracked and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Elmstead, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Elmstead
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, 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, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Elmstead is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Advice
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Your questions about regrouting in Elmstead
Could a tired shower seal in my Elmstead flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you work for landlords with property near Elmstead Woods station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.

Do you work in Elmstead?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Elmstead included.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What does regrouting cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

Common problems we fix in Elmstead
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Rented homes near Elmstead Woods station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be

Landlords, agents and businesses in Elmstead
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Leave it or put it right?
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. In a flat in Elmstead, 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.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
