About our regrouting in Hatfield
We work across Hatfield, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Hatfield mixes older houses with estates built more recently, so bathrooms range from long-standing suites to recent refits. Either way, the sealant and grout are usually the first things to fail.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Hatfield
Do older homes in Hatfield need their sealant replacing?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Hatfield may already be on their second or third set.
Do you take on hotel work around Hatfield?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Hatfield
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hatfield and across Hertfordshire. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Hatfield, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Hatfield homes and their sealant
Hatfield is one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Bishop's Hatfield Girls' School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Hatfield station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
