How we handle regrouting in Roundbush Green
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Being in a small place like Roundbush Green makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Roundbush Green
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you look after a building such as Rodings Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- 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 before you book.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Roundbush Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Roundbush Green
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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We will tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Roundbush Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Roundbush Green questions
Is regrouting in Roundbush Green guaranteed?
All our work, in Roundbush Green and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Roundbush Green for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Roundbush Green is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Roundbush Green?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
