How we handle regrouting in South Ockendon
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you’re dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help.
Even in a smaller place like South Ockendon, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Regrouting around South Ockendon
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Ockendon station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Bonnygate Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep the fan on after showering
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

South Ockendon: your questions answered
Is South Ockendon within the area you cover?
Yes, South Ockendon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in South Ockendon?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and South Ockendon is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.

What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around South Ockendon, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.
