Thornton Heath Regrouting
Tiled areas in Thornton Heath need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Regrouting in Thornton Heath, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
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.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a London area like Thornton Heath, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in

Thornton Heath: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thornton Heath station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Thornton Heath cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Do you come to Thornton Heath?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Thornton Heath included.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
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.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How we’d reach the joints

Do you need regrouting in Thornton Heath?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray

Comparing quotes
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Regrouting around Thornton Heath
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
Homes close to Church of St Stephen include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. As a London address, Thornton Heath can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
