Regrouting in Highbury, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Highbury, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Highbury as everywhere else we work.

Your questions about regrouting in Highbury
Do you work in hotels near Highbury?
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.
Can worn sealant in a flat in Highbury cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that is down. A proper reseal before the leak starts is the easy fix.
Do you work in Highbury?
Yes. We work in Highbury and the rest of Greater London. To book, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones at the start.
What regrouting looks like in Highbury
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Canonbury station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. As a London address, Highbury can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
