Regrouting in Locksbottom
Tiled areas in Locksbottom need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting in Locksbottom
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Locksbottom are no different.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
What regrouting looks like in Locksbottom
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, 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 St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Orpington station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. As a London address, Locksbottom can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Locksbottom, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Locksbottom
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
FAQs for Locksbottom
I live in a flat in Locksbottom. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you work for landlords with property near Orpington station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Do you work in Locksbottom?
Yes. We work in Locksbottom and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England, London and Scotland. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you an approved applicator?
