About our regrouting in Selsdon
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’re often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and good tiles let down by tired grout, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors. Mastic man, silicone man or sealant specialist, the name varies; in Selsdon, the job is the same: proper preparation and the right sealant for every joint.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Selsdon. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What we’re called out for in Selsdon
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
If you live in an older home near St Francis, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Selsdon
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Why it’s worth doing now in Selsdon
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Selsdon, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 07833 053749 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Your questions about regrouting in Selsdon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sanderstead station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 07833 053749 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Selsdon?
Parking in Selsdon, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
How much does regrouting cost in Selsdon?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. 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.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
