Regrouting in Ashridge
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Ashridge, 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Ashridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What else we do in Ashridge
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Common questions in Ashridge
Do you work for landlords with property near Berkhamsted station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Ashridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you need regrouting in Ashridge?
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
Look out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
Letting a property close to Berkhamsted station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
