About our regrouting in Salfords
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Salfords are handled the same careful way. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Salfords, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Salfords needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Regrouting in Salfords: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Salfords. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ the King, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Salfords 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.

What else we do in Salfords
Salfords questions
Do you cover smaller places like Salfords?
Yes. Salfords is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Salfords?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Signs you need regrouting in Salfords
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Rented homes near Salfords station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
