Regrouting near Kidbrooke

Leave it or put it right?

Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a flat in Kidbrooke, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Why Kidbrooke clients choose us

  • We never seal over old sealant
  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • One-year guarantee on every job
  • Fully insured

Regrouting in Kidbrooke, done properly

Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you’re dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Kidbrooke, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kidbrooke and across Greater London.

Kidbrooke: your questions answered

I live in a flat in Kidbrooke. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?

Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.

Do you work for landlords with property near Kidbrooke station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

What information do you need?

A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.

Where do you work from?

We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Kidbrooke.

How long should I wait before showering?

It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.

Can I do it myself?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Surface by surface

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.

Bathroom wall tiles

Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.

Regrouting in Kidbrooke: local notes

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps.

For landlords with property near Kidbrooke station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Barnabas include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Henwick Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In Kidbrooke, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
