How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work 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 Merton. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- 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.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Regrouting in Merton
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally 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, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in corners that has cracked and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Merton more than a cosmetic job.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Merton
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a flat in Merton, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Merton
Can worn sealant in a flat in Merton 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. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Merton?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Merton
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Letting a property close to Haydons Road station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. As a London address, Merton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you look after a building such as Merton Abbey 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.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What affects the quote in Merton
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
