How we handle regrouting in St Ibbs
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that won’t come clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Around St Ibbs, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Why act early in St Ibbs
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around St Ibbs, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Regrouting around St Ibbs
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like St Ippolyts Church of England Aided Primary School? Then 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 Ippolyts (church of England), timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Do you need regrouting in St Ibbs?
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Rented homes near Hitchin station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before booking
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What happens on the day
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 for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like St Ibbs needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.

Your questions about regrouting in St Ibbs
Do you work for landlords with property near Hitchin station?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in St Ibbs?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep the fan on after showering
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
