What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
How we handle regrouting in Barnes
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Landlord and commercial work in Barnes
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Common questions in Barnes
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Barnes?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Barnes cause a leak downstairs?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a flat in Barnes, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

What we are called out for in Barnes
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For landlords with property near Barnes Bridge station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Regrouting in Barnes: local notes
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Barnes Methodist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as St Osmund's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
