- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
How we handle regrouting in Upperton
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Around Upperton, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Upperton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

FAQs for Upperton
Can you do regrouting in Upperton?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upperton is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Upperton?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before we start.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting around Upperton
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.
Homes close to The Parish Church of All Hallows include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. In and around Upperton, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Upperton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
