Regrouting for homes and businesses in Leaden Roding
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you are dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right.
Around Leaden Roding, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
You do not 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. For a village or hamlet like Leaden Roding, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Leaden Roding
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Do you cover smaller places like Leaden Roding?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can landlords and businesses book you?

What do you put in the joint?

How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around Leaden Roding, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
What we are called out for in Leaden Roding
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodings Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
