Regrouting in Holborn
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In Holborn, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Holborn
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Holborn?
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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Farringdon station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work in Holborn?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Holborn included.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Holborn homes and their sealant
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Holborn. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like St Alban's Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. As a London address, Holborn can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you live in an older home near St Alban's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Landmarks near Holborn
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Yorkshire Grey pub, British Library of Political and Economic Science and City Academy. You will also find Elizabeth Garrett Anderson School (0.9 miles north) and Lincoln's Inn Fields (under half a mile south-west). There’s a railway station in Holborn itself: Farringdon station. A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (0.7 miles south-east) and Brunswick Centre (0.5 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Barnsbury Wood and Ludgate Hill.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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 Holborn.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Holborn. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and commercial work in Holborn

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
