What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
How we handle regrouting in Heronsgate
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout that’s cracking and breaking up and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Somewhere as small as Heronsgate, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Heronsgate homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Chorleywood Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to St John include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Chorleywood station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Heronsgate, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we quote for regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heronsgate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
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. You will know the price before we begin.
