Trusted regrouting in Soho

Regrouting in Soho, done properly

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.

Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Soho are no different.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What regrouting looks like in Soho

There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Soho. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.

Schools such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. As a London address, Soho can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Soho is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Anywhere in W1F, we can carry out regrouting at your property. Soho is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for regrouting.

We cover every part of the W1F, W1T and W1D postcode area for regrouting and the streets around it. If you need regrouting at a property on Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane or a nearby road, we can help. Main roads around Soho include the A4 and A301, so getting to you is simple. Other places close to Soho include West End (1 mile east), Chinatown (1 mile south), Seven Dials (1 mile east), St Giles (1 mile north-east) and St James's (1 mile south). We also work in nearby towns such as Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Whitechapel (3 miles east), Hampstead (3 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west) and Stockwell (3 miles south).

Bathroom wall tiles

We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.

Wet rooms

In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal

Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.

Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

What we do, step by step

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Soho. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Mention any parking rules near the property

Landlord and commercial work in Soho

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.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

What affects the cost of regrouting

The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:

  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • The type of sealant required

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

Do you need regrouting in Soho?

Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone

Rented homes near Tottenham Court Road station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?
  • What the cure time is
