Regrouting in The Burroughs
Problem with your tiled areas in The Burroughs? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in The Burroughs
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in The Burroughs are handled the same careful way. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.

FAQs for The Burroughs
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hendon station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
I live in a flat in The Burroughs. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new 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.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Why it’s worth doing now in The Burroughs
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in The Burroughs, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What we’re called out for in The Burroughs
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
The Burroughs is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Regrouting in The Burroughs: local notes
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, 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.
