Colney Street Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Colney Street, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Colney Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

About our regrouting in Colney Street
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Around Colney Street, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we are called out for in Colney Street
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as Park Street Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?

FAQs for Colney Street
Can you do regrouting in Colney Street?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Colney Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Colney Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Colney Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What regrouting looks like in Colney Street
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.
If you let a flat or house near How Wood station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
