About our regrouting in Ilford
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
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 Ilford are no different.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Ilford. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Ilford
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Your questions about regrouting in Ilford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ilford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I live in a flat in Ilford. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Ilford
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
For anyone letting property in or around Ilford, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What we are called out for in Ilford
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
In the older streets around St Alban's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured

- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
Why act early in Ilford
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a flat in Ilford, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
