Regrouting in Kensington, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We’re often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Kensington, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Regrouting in Kensington: local notes
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Kensington has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like St Barnabas and St Philip's CofE Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Kensington Olympia station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. As a London address, Kensington can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What else we do in Kensington
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. In a London area like Kensington, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Kensington, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Your questions about regrouting in Kensington
Can worn sealant in a flat in Kensington cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you take on hotel work around Kensington?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
How long should I wait before showering?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Do you work in Kensington?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
