About our regrouting in Howe Hill
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Typical jobs include discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Howe Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Howe Hill questions
Will you come out to Howe Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Howe Hill in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Howe Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Check the corner silicone every few months
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Howe Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
When to call us in Howe Hill
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Around Howe Hill, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
