How we handle regrouting in Southborough
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Even in a smaller place like Southborough, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In an older home around Southborough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Regrouting around Southborough
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Southborough CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Southborough questions
Do you work for landlords with property near High Brooms station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Southborough?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
