DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
Regrouting in Thorington Street: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Whether the job is in Thorington Street itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Thorington Street
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Thorington Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Thorington Street: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Thorington Street?
All our work, in Thorington Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Thorington Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Thorington Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Thorington Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
When to call us in Thorington Street
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Around Thorington Street, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
