Regrouting in Old Knebworth, done properly
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Old Knebworth are handled the same careful way. We’re often asked to deal with grout washed out of a shower and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Around Old Knebworth, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Advice
Old Knebworth homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Barnwell School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary and St Thomas, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Asking for a quote

- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A leaking wet room membrane

- A floor or wall that keeps moving

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Old Knebworth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
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 keep the room ventilated.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
Signs you need regrouting in Old Knebworth
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you let a flat or house near Knebworth station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
