Regrouting in Kennington, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Kennington are no different.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
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 the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Kennington. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Kennington
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Regrouting in Kennington: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Kennington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Kennington is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For landlords with property near Vauxhall station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Stephen's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Questions from Kennington
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Kennington?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Could a tired shower seal in my Kennington flat affect the neighbours below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long at the end of the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Do you work in Kennington?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Kennington.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out at the start.
