What we are called out for in Thorley Street
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Old grout in a dated colour
In the older streets around St. Swithin's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Regrouting in Thorley Street, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Thorley Street are handled the same careful way. If you’re dealing with shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can help, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about regrouting in Thorley Street
Is Thorley Street within the area you cover?
Yes. Thorley Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Thorley Street?
All our work, in Thorley Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Thorley Street needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What regrouting looks like in Thorley Street
Thorley Street is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
Around Thorley Street, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles

What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorley Street can have timber 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. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
