Do you need regrouting in Labour-in-vain?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wrotham School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Labour-in-vain: your questions answered
Do you cover Labour-in-vain for regrouting?
Yes, Labour-in-vain is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Labour-in-vain within the area you cover?
Yes. Labour-in-vain is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Labour-in-vain needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
What regrouting looks like in Labour-in-vain
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Borough Green & Wrotham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Landlord and commercial work in Labour-in-vain
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
