How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Regrouting in South Stifford
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can put it right, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
Even in a smaller place like South Stifford, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. 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. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What we are called out for in South Stifford
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to South Stifford is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Questions from South Stifford
I let a flat near Chafford Hundred station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in South Stifford?
Yes, South Stifford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Around South Stifford, 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.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
