FAQs for Ickleford
Can you do regrouting in Ickleford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ickleford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Ickleford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How we handle regrouting in Ickleford
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
In a village or hamlet like Ickleford, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- 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.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors

What regrouting looks like in Ickleford
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Hitchin station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Schools such as Ickleford Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What affects the quote in Ickleford
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The address or postcode of the job
- The type of property
For regrouting in Ickleford, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room.

- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Common problems we fix in Ickleford
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Look out for these signs:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to Church of St Katharine include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
