Regrouting in Monkhams, done properly
Across Monkhams, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Monkhams, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

What we are called out for in Monkhams
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- How long to leave it before use
Monkhams: your questions answered
Can worn sealant in a flat in Monkhams cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Monkhams?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
What regrouting looks like in Monkhams
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Monkhams. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Wells Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Highams Park station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Monkhams.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
