- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

About our regrouting in Lane End
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Lane End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Lane End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
FAQs for Lane End
I let a flat near Kirby Cross station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Lane End?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What regrouting looks like in Lane End
Lane End is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Kirby Cross station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Lane End, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What we are called out for in Lane End
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
Managing a site like Kirby Primary Academy? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
