Regrouting in Purley, done properly
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Purley are no different.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Purley
Do you take on hotel work around Purley?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Purley 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. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.

Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
As a London address, Purley can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
How to get a quote

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Regrouting in Purley: local notes
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. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Purley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Christ Church CofE Primary School (Purley), 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.
