Regrouting for homes and businesses in Rotherhithe
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in Rotherhithe more than a cosmetic job.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Rotherhithe, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Hotels need rooms back in use, 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Rotherhithe
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a flat in Rotherhithe, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In Rotherhithe, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Regrouting in Rotherhithe: local notes
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Rotherhithe. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alfred Salter Primary School, 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. Letting a property close to Canada Water station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
