Regrouting in Inner Avenue
Problem with your tiled areas in Inner Avenue? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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. All the old material has to come out first.
Regrouting in Inner Avenue
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Smaller places like Inner Avenue still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Inner Avenue
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. In a smaller place like Inner Avenue, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.
What you get with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Inner Avenue, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Your questions about regrouting in Inner Avenue
I let a flat near St Denys station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Inner Avenue?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Inner Avenue?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How the job changes by 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
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
You will get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What we’re called out for in Inner Avenue
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
In the older streets around Saint Mary's, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they hold
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
Inner Avenue homes and their sealant
Inner Avenue is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Bevois Town Primary School are buildings too, and 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. If you let a flat or house near St Denys station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
