About our regrouting in Highfield
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Highfield are handled the same careful way. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Highfield range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Do you need regrouting in Highfield?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you let a flat or house near Hemel Hempstead station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
Why it’s worth doing now in Highfield
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In an older home around Highfield, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Your questions about regrouting in Highfield
I let a flat near Hemel Hempstead station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Highfield?
Yes, Highfield is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
What happens on the day
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. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking around Highfield is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.

What regrouting looks like in Highfield
Highfield is part of Hemel Hempstead, 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Yewtree Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to St Paul's include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
