How we handle regrouting in Monkton
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and shower grout that has worn away.
For a small place like Monkton, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Monkton: your questions answered
I let a flat near Minster station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Monkton?
Yes, Monkton is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Monkton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting around Monkton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Monkton Church of England Primary School? Then 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Landlord and commercial work in Monkton
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Common problems we fix in Monkton
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you let a flat or house near Minster station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
