Vines Cross Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Vines Cross, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Vines Cross
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, across bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Around Vines Cross, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we are called out for in Vines Cross
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
If you look after a building such as Maynards Green Community Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Vines Cross: your questions answered
Is Vines Cross in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Vines Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Vines Cross?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

What regrouting looks like in Vines Cross
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Vines Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
