Regrouting in Loxford
Problem with your tiled areas in Loxford? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.
Regrouting in Loxford, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you have greasy, stained grout behind the hob and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can help.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Loxford more than a cosmetic job.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Loxford, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Regrouting in Loxford: local notes
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Loxford. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Woodlands Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For landlords with property near Barking station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. As a London address, Loxford can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Loxford questions
Can worn sealant in a flat in Loxford cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do you take on hotel work around Loxford?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
What does regrouting cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Why act early in Loxford
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
