Regrouting in Chorleywood
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you’re dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In and around Chorleywood, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What regrouting looks like in Chorleywood
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.
Letting a property close to Chorleywood station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Christ Church Chorleywood CofE School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Why act early in Chorleywood
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a smaller place like Chorleywood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common questions in Chorleywood
Do you cover Chorleywood for regrouting?
Yes, Chorleywood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Chorleywood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the quote in Chorleywood
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether the work is at height
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
When to call us in Chorleywood
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. For a job in Chorleywood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
