DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we handle regrouting in West Silvertown
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In West Silvertown, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about regrouting in West Silvertown
Do you take on hotel work around West Silvertown?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in West Silvertown?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
How much does regrouting cost in West Silvertown?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover West Silvertown.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- One-year guarantee on every job

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a London area like West Silvertown, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
