About our regrouting in The Wrythe
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in The Wrythe
I live in a flat in The Wrythe. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
I let a flat near Carshalton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in The Wrythe, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
The cost 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 we start, so you know where you stand.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. In The Wrythe, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Signs you need regrouting in The Wrythe
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Carshalton station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Regrouting in The Wrythe: local notes
London has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
The Wrythe is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you live in an older home near Bishop Andrewes Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
