About our regrouting in St Giles
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Common call-outs are for grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and good tiles let down by tired grout, on shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, and bathrooms were often squeezed into small rooms. A compact bathroom that steams up every day is hard on silicone and grout.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in St Giles and across Greater London.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
Advice
Regrouting in St Giles: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St Giles. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, which is why it’s worth fixing early.
As a London address, St Giles can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. If you look after a building such as St Josephs Catholic Primary 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.
St Giles is about 1 mile east of City of Westminster, in Greater London. From the centre of St Giles to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. St Giles is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we work for regrouting.
We work across the W1F, W1D and W1T postcode area for regrouting. Regrouting is available to properties on Duck Lane, Drury Lane and Bridle Lane. St Giles sits on or near the A301 and A400. Neighbouring places we cover for regrouting include Seven Dials (1 mile south), West End (1 mile south-west), Soho (1 mile south-west), Covent Garden (1 mile south-east) and Chinatown (1 mile south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Kensington (3 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (13 miles west), Stockwell (3 miles south) and Orpington (13 miles south-east).
Local landmarks in St Giles
In St Giles, that means homes and buildings near LSE Shaw Library, The Crown pub and Mercers' School. Other local landmarks include London Nautical School (1 mile south-east) and St Anne's Churchyard (within half a mile south-west).

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Landlord and commercial work in St Giles
For anyone letting property in or around St Giles, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in St Giles, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for St Giles
Do you take on hotel work around St Giles?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Tottenham Court Road station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Do you cover St Giles?
We do. St Giles is part of the area we cover.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
What we are called out for in St Giles
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
For an older house near a landmark such as Soho Baptist Chapel, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
