What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Great Amwell, 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.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Great Amwell
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. If you’re dealing with old grout in a dated colour and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Great Amwell, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Great Amwell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
Great Amwell homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Parish Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near St Margarets (Herts) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

FAQs for Great Amwell
Can you do regrouting in Great Amwell?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Great Amwell is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near St Margarets (Herts) station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Signs you need regrouting in Great Amwell
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
