How we handle regrouting in Tiptoe
We work across Tiptoe, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout in corners that has cracked.
Somewhere as small as Tiptoe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Regrouting in Tiptoe: local notes
Tiptoe is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Sway station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Tiptoe Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Letting agents and landlords in Tiptoe can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Tiptoe, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Common problems we fix in Tiptoe
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

FAQs for Tiptoe
Is Tiptoe in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tiptoe is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sway station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tiptoe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
