About our regrouting in Datchworth
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you’re dealing with floor grout that has worn and darkened and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Datchworth makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Datchworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What else we do in Datchworth
How we quote for regrouting
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What regrouting looks like in Datchworth
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Knebworth station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael's Woolmer Green CofE VA Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
