Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wilmington
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. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help, on bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
Somewhere as small as Wilmington, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wilmington
Is Wilmington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Wilmington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wilmington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Bathrooms and kitchens in Wilmington
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 St Mary and St Peter's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Berwick (Sussex) station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

When to call us in Wilmington
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Willingdon Community School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Wilmington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wilmington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
