Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our regrouting in Thames Ditton
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. Common call-outs are for grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Around Thames Ditton, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

Thames Ditton: your questions answered
Is Thames Ditton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Thames Ditton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 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 the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Thames Ditton homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Thames Ditton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St. Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Thames Ditton Junior School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Signs you need regrouting in Thames Ditton
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
Rented homes near Thames Ditton station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What else we do in Thames Ditton
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Why act early in Thames Ditton
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In an older home around Thames Ditton, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. For a job in Thames Ditton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
