Questions from Eltham
Can worn sealant in a flat in Eltham cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mottingham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Regrouting in Eltham
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We’re often asked to deal with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Eltham more than a cosmetic job.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Eltham and across Greater London.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. For a job in Eltham, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
When to call us in Eltham
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Rented homes near Mottingham station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. 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 Eltham
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 has hard water, 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 St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. As a London address, Eltham can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
