DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Regrouting in Palmers Green
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout washed out of a shower.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, and many bathrooms sit right above someone else’s ceiling. In Palmers Green, that’s a good reason to put tired sealant and grout right early.
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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Palmers Green
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and once it shows in Palmers Green, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Palmers Green homes and their sealant
London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Palmers Green. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Palmers Green United Reformed Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. As a London address, Palmers Green can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a London area like Palmers Green, 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Signs you need regrouting in Palmers Green
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Palmers Green station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Your questions about regrouting in Palmers Green
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Palmers Green?
Parking in Palmers Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Do you work for landlords with property near Palmers Green station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you cover Palmers Green?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, and that includes Palmers Green.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
