Regrouting in Clerkenwell
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you’re dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest, and homes in Clerkenwell are no different.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. In Clerkenwell, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What affects the quote in Clerkenwell
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Regrouting in Clerkenwell: local notes
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as St Peter and St Paul RC Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Clerkenwell is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Common questions in Clerkenwell
Do you work for landlords with property near Farringdon station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Could a tired shower seal in my Clerkenwell flat affect the neighbours below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Clerkenwell?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
When to call us in Clerkenwell
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
For landlords with property near Farringdon station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
