About our regrouting in Hanscombe End
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and cracked or crumbling grout lines, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Hanscombe End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why act early in Hanscombe End
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hanscombe End can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Fully insured
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Common problems we fix in Hanscombe End
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Common questions in Hanscombe End
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Hanscombe End?
All our work, in Hanscombe End and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Hanscombe End in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Hanscombe End is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How much does regrouting cost in Hanscombe End?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a small place like Hanscombe End, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Hanscombe End
What regrouting looks like in Hanscombe End
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Shillington Lower School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
