Questions from Bishop's Stortford
Can you do regrouting in Bishop's Stortford?
Yes, Bishop's Stortford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Bishop's Stortford?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
About our regrouting in Bishop's Stortford
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and shower grout that has worn away, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
In a town like Bishop's Stortford, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Either way, the sealant and grout are normally the first things to fail.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Bishop's Stortford
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Bishop's Stortford, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
