Questions from Aldwych
Can worn sealant in a flat in Aldwych cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking a problem for a job in Aldwych?
Parking in Aldwych, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
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 you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Regrouting in Aldwych, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Aldwych, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Regrouting around Aldwych

If you live in an older home near St Mary le Strand, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. Aldwych is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
