About our regrouting in High Barnet
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, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In High Barnet, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in High Barnet and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in High Barnet
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Managing a site like Foulds School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in High Barnet.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Questions from High Barnet
Can worn sealant in a flat in High Barnet cause a leak downstairs?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Is parking an issue for regrouting in High Barnet?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We usually do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
How it works
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 anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. In a London area like High Barnet, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
