Regrouting in Apsley End, Hertfordshire
We cover Apsley End for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Regrouting in Apsley End, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In a village or hamlet like Apsley End, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Apsley End: your questions answered
Will you come out to Apsley End?
Yes, Apsley End is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Apsley End in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Apsley End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Apsley End needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
Common problems we fix in Apsley End
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before you book anyone
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How hidden problems are handled
- How much experience the applicator has
- The length of the guarantee
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.

How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
