Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
About our regrouting in Shottenden
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and crumbling grout between the tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Shottenden, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the cost of regrouting
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Shottenden: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Selling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Shottenden for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shottenden is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
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.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Landlord and commercial work in Shottenden
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
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.
What regrouting looks like in Shottenden
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In and around Shottenden, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Somewhere as small as Shottenden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shottenden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

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.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
