Regrouting in Herne Hill, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with good tiles let down by tired grout and old grout in a dated colour, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in Herne Hill are no different.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Herne Hill questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Herne Hill?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is parking a problem for a job in Herne Hill?
Parking in Herne Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly, so mention what’s available when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What regrouting looks like in Herne Hill
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Herne Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Judith Kerr Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Faith's, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near North Dulwich station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins.

- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Why act early in Herne Hill
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Herne Hill.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Old sealant always removed completely
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
