Regrouting in St James's, Greater London
We cover St James's for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Regrouting in St James's, done properly
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for floor grout that won’t come clean and grout in corners that has cracked, on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Across London, a large share of homes are flats, conversions or mansion blocks, so a bathroom is often directly above a neighbour’s ceiling. That makes worn sealant and cracked grout in St James's more than a cosmetic job.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens on the day

After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In St James's, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.

Questions from St James's
I live in a flat in St James's. Can a failed seal leak into the flat below?
It can, yes: water that gets past a split bead or cracked grout often runs under the tray and shows on the ceiling below. Replacing the sealant and grout before that happens is much less trouble than repairing a neighbour’s ceiling.
Do you take on hotel work around St James's?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you work in St James's?
We do. Our applicators work in St James's, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Regrouting in St James's: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around St James's. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early.
St James's is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as Soho Parish CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Why it’s worth doing now in St James's
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

To make quoting easier, let us know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
