Common problems we fix in Gants Hill
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
In the older streets around St George's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How we handle regrouting in Gants Hill
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Gants Hill more than a cosmetic job.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Gants Hill and everywhere else we cover.

Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

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 be quoted together.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Regrouting in Gants Hill: local notes
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.
Gants Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Gearies Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in Gants Hill
Can worn sealant in a flat in Gants Hill cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Gants Hill?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels in Gants Hill.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Should I try it myself first?
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. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are 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.

When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
