How much does grout repair cost in London?

Grout repair in London is offered two ways: by time at £60 + VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 + VAT for each additional 30 minutes for a small repair the handyman does on the spot, or a £35 + VAT survey and quote visit that gives you a fixed price for a full regrout before any work starts.

• By time: £60 + VAT for the first 30 minutes, then £30 + VAT per additional 30 minutes
• Survey and fixed quote: £35 + VAT, with the work done at a fixed price on a return visit
• Saturday appointments charged at the same weekday rate
• No separate call-out fee on the by-time option

A worked example: freshening up the grout around a single basin or a small tiled splashback is usually a first-half-hour to one-hour job, so around £60 to £90 + VAT, while raking out and fully regrouting a shower enclosure or a whole bathroom wall is bigger work best quoted with the £35 + VAT survey so the price is fixed and clear. The reason a full regrout takes time is the raking out: the old grout has to be cut out cleanly to a consistent depth without chipping the tile glaze, the joints vacuumed and dried, and fresh grout worked fully into every joint and tooled off, because grout dragged thinly over the top of old grout simply fails again within months. The survey route exists so a big regrout has a known price rather than an open-ended time charge.

Should I clean my grout or replace it?

Grout can be cleaned and revived when it is sound but discoloured, and needs replacing when it is cracked, crumbling, missing in places or stained with mould all the way through. Silver Saints judge which on site: where the grout is intact we can lightly abrade and clean the surface to lift staining and improve the look, but where the grout has gone soft, is falling out of the joints or is blackened right through, cleaning only buys a few weeks and raking out and regrouting is the honest fix. Grout that crumbles when you run a key along it has failed and will not come back with a scrub, so we say so rather than charge for a clean that will not last.

Why does my shower grout keep going black?

Grout going black in a shower is usually mould growing in damp grout, but in the corners and along the joint where the wall tiles meet the bath, tray or floor, the black line is very often failed silicone sealant rather than grout, and regrouting it will not fix it. Silver Saints check which it is, because the corner joint and the tile-to-bath joint should be flexible silicone, not rigid grout, since that joint moves slightly when the bath or tray takes weight and rigid grout there cracks and lets water behind. Where the problem is the seal rather than the grout, the right fix is to strip and renew the silicone, and we will tell you that rather than regrout a joint that is going to fail again.

Grout across London property types

Tiling and grout problems track London building stock. In Victorian and Edwardian terraces across Wandsworth, Hackney, Islington and Camden the bathrooms are often retrofitted into former bedrooms or box rooms with timber floors that flex, so floor-tile grout cracks along the joints where the floor moves, and the fix sometimes needs a flexible grout rather than a standard one. In mansion blocks across Kensington, Chelsea and Marylebone the original tiling can be decades old and the grout porous and tired throughout, making a full regrout the sensible job. In modern new-build flats around Nine Elms, Battersea and Canary Wharf the tiling is newer but grout in the shower still discolours where ventilation is poor. Reading the building tells us whether a clean will hold or whether it is a regrout.

How we rake out and replace grout properly

A lasting regrout depends on getting the old grout fully out before any new grout goes in, and Silver Saints rake the joints out to a consistent depth with the right tool for the tile, taking care not to chip the glaze or catch the tile edges. The joints are then cleaned and dried, fresh grout in a matching colour is worked fully into the full depth of each joint rather than smeared over the top, and the surface is tooled off to a neat, consistent line and cleaned back before it hazes. Where a joint moves, such as an internal corner or the tile-to-bath line, we finish it in flexible silicone rather than grout. The difference between a regrout that lasts years and one that fails by spring is almost entirely in the preparation.

Combine regrouting with other bathroom jobs in one visit

Because a Silver Saint is multi-trade, a regrout is a sensible moment to put right the related bathroom jobs in the same visit, with no second call-out fee. Regrouting very often pairs with resealing the bath or shower tray, since the flexible silicone joint and the grout lines both fail around the same time. If a tile or basin is involved, it sits naturally with resealing the basin or sink. And where black grout in a shower comes with a slow waste or a dripping fitting, we can trace and cure the leak at the same time. Tell us everything when you book so the visit covers the lot.

Grout Repair FAQs

Silver Saints usually offer same-day or next-day appointments for grout repair and regrouting across London, subject to availability, and you can call 0207 0999 199 or book online to secure the earliest slot.

How much does grout repair cost in London?

Grout repair is charged by time at £60 + VAT for the first 30 minutes and £30 + VAT for each additional 30 minutes for a small repair, or you can book a £35 + VAT survey and quote visit for a fixed price on a full regrout, with Saturday charged at the same weekday rate.

Should I clean my grout or replace it?

Grout that is sound but discoloured can often be cleaned and lightly abraded to lift staining, while grout that is cracked, crumbling, missing or blackened all the way through needs raking out and replacing, because cleaning failed grout only lasts a few weeks.

Why does my shower grout keep going black?

Black grout in a shower is usually mould in damp grout, but in the corners and where the tiles meet the bath or tray it is often failed silicone sealant rather than grout, which needs stripping and resealing rather than regrouting.

Can you do a fixed price for a full bathroom regrout?

Silver Saints offer a £35 + VAT survey and quote visit that gives a fixed price for a full regrout before any work begins, so a larger job has a known cost rather than an open-ended time charge.

Will regrouting stop my shower leaking?

Regrouting renews the grout lines and helps keep water out, but a shower that is leaking because of a failed silicone seal or a problem behind the tiles needs that underlying fault put right, which Silver Saints identify on site rather than assuming a regrout alone will cure a leak.
