Regrouting in Plummers Plain
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, we can help, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Plummers Plain, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Common questions in Plummers Plain
Do you cover Plummers Plain for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Plummers Plain is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Plummers Plain within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Regrouting around Plummers Plain
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Faygate station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Newells Preparatory School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What we’re called out for in Plummers Plain
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
