Regrouting in Longcross
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Common call-outs are for discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and old grout in a dated colour, across shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Longcross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Longcross, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

If you let a flat or house near Longcross station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

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.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Longcross, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
When to call us in Longcross
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you live in an older home near Longcross Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Common questions in Longcross
I let a flat near Longcross station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will you come out to Longcross?
Yes. Longcross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
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.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
