Regrouting in Guildford
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.
Alongside its houses and flats, Guildford has offices, shops and places to stay, and their washrooms and staff kitchens need the same attention as any home. The work is the same in both: old material out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh, even finish.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Commercial jobs in Guildford can be planned out of hours where a building can’t close, and homes are booked within our usual hours, Monday to Saturday.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Questions from Guildford
Do you work for landlords with property near London Road (Guildford) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Guildford for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Guildford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What we’re called out for in Guildford
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Guildford homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Guildford. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near London Road (Guildford) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Sandfield Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Guildford
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In flats, shops and offices in Guildford, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
