What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Cracked or broken tiles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

About our regrouting in Hook's Cross
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Homes around Hook's Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hook's Cross as everywhere else we work.

Signs you need regrouting in Hook's Cross
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
Rented homes near Watton-At-Stone station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Hook's Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What regrouting looks like in Hook's Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barnwell School, 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. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Hook's Cross
Can you do regrouting in Hook's Cross?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hook's Cross is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Hook's Cross?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
