How we handle regrouting in Covent Garden
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and wet rooms, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Covent Garden, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Signs you need regrouting in Covent Garden
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
As a London address, Covent Garden can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Covent Garden, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Regrouting around Covent Garden
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Covent Garden. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near London Charing Cross station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Crown Court Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Common questions in Covent Garden
Can you help a landlord with a rental near London Charing Cross station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Covent Garden?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Covent Garden, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.

Getting ready for the visit

- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
