Regrouting in Bishopsgate, done properly

Across Bishopsgate, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and splashback grout that has darkened.

London homes include a lot of flats, conversions and mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. In Bishopsgate, that is a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common problems we fix in Bishopsgate

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Splashback grout that has darkened

Letting a property close to London Liverpool Street station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

10 questions to ask before you book

Questions from Bishopsgate

Is parking an issue for regrouting in Bishopsgate?

In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.

Do you work in hotels near Bishopsgate?

Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.

How long does regrouting take?

Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

How long should I wait before showering?

Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.

Should I try DIY first?

It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we will say so before going ahead.

What we do, step by step

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. The job normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a London area like Bishopsgate, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice

Quotes for regrouting in Bishopsgate

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • Any working-time requirements on site
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Which sealant suits the joint

What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • What’s wrong with the joints now
  • How we’d reach the joints

There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Wipe water off the walls when you are done

A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

What sealant work cannot fix

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:

  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Cracked or broken tiles

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Tiled floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bishopsgate

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Ethelburga, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like The London School of Barbering? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

Why act early in Bishopsgate

Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Bishopsgate, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
