How we handle regrouting in Shephall
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not 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 floors, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Homes around Shephall range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Shephall and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Shephall homes and their sealant
Stevenage, which Shephall is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Peartree Spring Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Rented homes near Stevenage station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Shephall and across Hertfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking around Shephall is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
Shephall questions
Is Shephall within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Should the sealant in an older Shephall home be renewed?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
How much does regrouting cost in Shephall?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Signs you need regrouting in Shephall
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Look out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
In the older streets around Church of Saint Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
