About our regrouting in Batchworth Heath
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you’re dealing with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout washed out of a shower, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Batchworth Heath, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Your questions about regrouting in Batchworth Heath
Is Batchworth Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Batchworth Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is Batchworth Heath in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Batchworth Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do you need regrouting in Batchworth Heath?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout washed out of a shower
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
For landlords with property near Rickmansworth station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting in Batchworth Heath: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote

- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Batchworth Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
