About our regrouting in Borehamwood
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Borehamwood mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Either way, the sealant and grout are usually the first things to fail.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In Borehamwood, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Do you need regrouting in Borehamwood?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as St Teresa Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What regrouting looks like in Borehamwood
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Elstree & Borehamwood station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near All Saints church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Borehamwood
Is Borehamwood in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Borehamwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is regrouting in Borehamwood guaranteed?
All our work, in Borehamwood and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where are you based?
Our base is 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?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

About regrouting
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
