Regrouting in South Bermondsey
Our applicators work in South Bermondsey on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Regrouting in South Bermondsey
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, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in South Bermondsey, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in South Bermondsey
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. In South Bermondsey, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Do you need regrouting in South Bermondsey?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you live in an older home near Church of St Augustine, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in South Bermondsey.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Your questions about regrouting in South Bermondsey
Is parking a problem for a job in South Bermondsey?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do you work in hotels near South Bermondsey?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
