Regrouting in Lower Kingswood, Surrey
Professional regrouting in and around Lower Kingswood, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

Regrouting in Lower Kingswood
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include grout that makes sound tiles look old and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Somewhere as small as Lower Kingswood, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Lower Kingswood and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Lower Kingswood
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Letting a property close to Kingswood station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on 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.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting around Lower Kingswood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of Jesus Christ and the Wisdom of God, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Kingswood Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Questions from Lower Kingswood
Will you come out to Lower Kingswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kingswood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you guarantee regrouting?

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before any work starts.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
