Regrouting in North End, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
In much of London, period terraces have been converted into flats over the years, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout, and homes in North End are no different.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

North End homes and their sealant
North End has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The King Alfred School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Hampstead Heath station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

North End: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for a job in North End?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can worn sealant in a flat in North End cause a leak downstairs?
Yes. In a flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal has only one way to go, and that’s down. Cutting out the old sealant and laying a new bead early stops it getting that far.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out before any grout comes out.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in North End. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.

- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit

Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Do you need regrouting in North End?
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
If you live in an older home near Church of St Alban the Martyr, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
