What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Regrouting in Southgate
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Typical jobs include splashback grout that has darkened and crumbling grout between the tiles, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Homes around Southgate 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.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southgate as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Southgate
Southgate is part of Crawley, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Southgate Primary are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Crawley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

FAQs for Southgate
Will you come out to Southgate?
Yes, Southgate is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Southgate?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s usually worth it. Sealant is a maintenance item: how long it lasts depends on use, cleaning and exposure, and many homes in Southgate may already be on their second or third set.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
How much does regrouting cost in Southgate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Southgate
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Homes in smaller places like Southgate can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Southgate, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
