Regrouting in Barnsbury
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Barnsbury are no different.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Landlords and letting agents in Barnsbury can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a London area like Barnsbury, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about regrouting in Barnsbury
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Caledonian Road & Barnsbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Barnsbury?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is it worth trying 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

What to tell us for a quote

- If someone has resealed it before
- The address or postcode of the job

- What’s wrong with the joints now
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
Signs you need regrouting in Barnsbury
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
In the older streets around Former Church of St Clement, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
