About our regrouting in Bernards Heath
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Homes around Bernards Heath range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

Bernards Heath questions
Do you take on hotel work around Bernards Heath?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near St Albans station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you work in Bernards Heath?
Yes. We work in Bernards Heath. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. A visit to Bernards Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In an older home around Bernards Heath, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

When to call us in Bernards Heath
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For landlords with property near St Albans station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
