What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Somewhere as small as Speed Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Speed Gate
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are corners filled with grout instead of silicone and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Being in a small place like Speed Gate makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Speed Gate
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Speed Gate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Speed Gate questions
Do you cover smaller places like Speed Gate?
Yes, we do. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Longfield station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Speed Gate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Speed Gate homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Longfield station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

When to call us in Speed Gate
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you look after a building such as Longfield Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
