Richmond upon Thames Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Richmond upon Thames? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
How we handle regrouting in Richmond upon Thames
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you are dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and shower walls alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. For a bathroom or kitchen in Richmond upon Thames, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Questions from Richmond upon Thames
Is parking a problem for a job in Richmond upon Thames?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Could a tired shower seal in my Richmond upon Thames flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

What affects the cost of regrouting
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Do you need regrouting in Richmond upon Thames?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Richmond, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Richmond upon Thames
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. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. 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 start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
