Little Thurrock Regrouting
Our applicators work in Little Thurrock on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Splashback grout that has darkened
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Little Thurrock is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.

Little Thurrock questions
Is Little Thurrock in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Thurrock is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Thurrock?
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
When to call us in Little Thurrock
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is VAT in the price?
Regrouting in Little Thurrock: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Deneholm Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Grays station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
