Regrouting in Farthing Street
We cover Farthing Street for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
Signs you need regrouting in Farthing Street
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
Farthing Street is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
Regrouting in Farthing Street
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What regrouting looks like in Farthing Street
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. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Letting a property close to Orpington station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Schools such as Downe Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Want a quote for regrouting? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Farthing Street, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

- A leaking wet room membrane
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles

Questions from Farthing Street
I let a flat near Orpington station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Farthing Street. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long should I wait before showering?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
