DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Regrouting in London Fields
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.

What happens if it’s left?
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 a flat in London Fields, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What regrouting looks like in London Fields
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to London Fields station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. As a London address, London Fields can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

When to call us in London Fields
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Schools such as Gayhurst Community School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles

Advice
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
