Shortlands Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Shortlands, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up

About our regrouting in Shortlands
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include grout that makes sound tiles look old and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Shortlands, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Landlord and commercial work in Shortlands
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
FAQs for Shortlands
Do you take on hotel work around Shortlands?
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.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Shortlands?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Common problems we fix in Shortlands
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you let a flat or house near Shortlands station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Shortlands, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Shortlands homes and their sealant

As a London address, Shortlands can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Schools such as Highfield Infants' School are buildings too, and 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.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
