Regrouting in Islington, Greater London
Tiled areas in Islington need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Islington.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Regrouting in Islington, done properly
Across Islington, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have old grout in a dated colour and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right.
Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Islington, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Islington and across Greater London.

Regrouting in Islington: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Islington. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Islington Proprietary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Quotes for regrouting in Islington
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before work begins.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few pictures by email, if you can
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Common problems we fix in Islington
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
For landlords with property near Essex Road station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
