DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
About our regrouting in Birchett's Green
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and tiled floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout in corners that has cracked.
For a small place like Birchett's Green, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on

How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. 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.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Common questions in Birchett's Green
Will you come out to Birchett's Green?
Yes, Birchett's Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do regrouting in Birchett's Green?
Yes, Birchett's Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
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.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Birchett's Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What regrouting looks like in Birchett's Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Shover's Green Baptist Chapel include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
