About our regrouting in Babbs Green
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Homes around Babbs Green are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Babbs Green as everywhere else we work.

Babbs Green questions
Do you cover Babbs Green for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Babbs Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Babbs Green?
Yes, Babbs Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
The process
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. For a village or hamlet like Babbs Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep the fan on after showering
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
