Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Regrouting in Longlands
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Longlands, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we are called out for in Longlands
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
As a London address, Longlands can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Longlands 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.
Schools such as Longlands Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near New Eltham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Longlands.
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.

Your questions about regrouting in Longlands
Can worn sealant in a flat in Longlands cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking a problem for a job in Longlands?
Parking in Longlands, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Longlands?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Longlands. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
