How we handle regrouting in Gipsy Hill
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. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and floor grout that has worn and darkened, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Gipsy Hill are no different.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Regrouting in Gipsy Hill: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Gipsy Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
As a London address, Gipsy Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Gipsy Hill station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Paxton Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Why act early in Gipsy Hill
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a flat in Gipsy Hill, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.

Your questions about regrouting in Gipsy Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Gipsy Hill station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Gipsy Hill. 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.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
