Regrouting in Mortimer, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Smaller places like Mortimer still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a smaller place like Mortimer, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
What affects the quote in Mortimer
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can

What we are called out for in Mortimer
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
If you let a flat or house near Mortimer station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
Why act early in Mortimer
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In an older home around Mortimer, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: 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 will go through it with you.
Why Mortimer clients choose us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What regrouting looks like in Mortimer
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Mortimer St John's C.E. Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Mortimer Methodist Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Mortimer
Is Mortimer in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mortimer is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Mortimer within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer, and we will tell you before work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
