What regrouting looks like in West Wickham
London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
Rented homes near West Wickham station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. As a London address, West Wickham can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Regrouting in West Wickham
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in West Wickham are no different.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need regrouting in West Wickham
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Homes close to St Francis of Assisi include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a London area like West Wickham, 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 start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
West Wickham questions
Is parking a problem for a job in West Wickham?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Do you work for landlords with property near West Wickham station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can I do 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in West Wickham
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a flat in West Wickham, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
