What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Regrouting in Bower Heath
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you’re dealing with old grout in a dated colour and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Bower Heath makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Bower Heath, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Bower Heath
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Do you work for landlords with property near Harpenden station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do regrouting in Bower Heath?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Regrouting around Bower Heath
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to All Saints include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Sauncey Wood Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in Bower Heath
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bower Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
