About our regrouting in Dalston
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Dalston, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Questions from Dalston
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Dalston?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Dalston cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What regrouting looks like in Dalston
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’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

The process

- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Signs you need regrouting in Dalston
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.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long to leave it before use
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:

- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
