About our regrouting in Long Ditton
Across Long Ditton, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Common call-outs are for dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout in corners that has cracked, across bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Long Ditton, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Long Ditton homes and their sealant
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. As a London address, Long Ditton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before

Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

FAQs for Long Ditton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Surbiton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Long Ditton cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we will tell you before we start.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Common problems we fix in Long Ditton
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Look out for any of the following:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Managing a site like Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Before booking anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Long Ditton, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
