What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a London area like Millbank, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

About our regrouting in Millbank
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Millbank questions
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Millbank?
Parking in Millbank, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
I live in a flat in Millbank. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
Yes, and the first sign is often a stain on the ceiling below. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Greater London.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Regrouting in Millbank: local notes
London has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. 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.
If you look after a building such as Harris Westminster Sixth Form, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
When to call us in Millbank
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For landlords with property near London Victoria station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What affects the quote in Millbank
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
