Regrouting in St John's Wood

About our regrouting in St John's Wood

Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.

London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. In St John's Wood, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

When something else is needed

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we seal

  • Bathroom floors
  • Shower walls
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms

What happens on the day

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in St John's Wood. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Clear the area around the work

Related advice

What happens if it’s left?

With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in St John's Wood.

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Questions from St John's Wood

Do you take on hotel work around St John's Wood?

Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.

Is parking an issue for regrouting in St John's Wood?

It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

When can I use the shower again?

We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.

What should I tell you?

Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Regrouting in St John's Wood: local notes

London has a lot of flats and conversions, and a failed shower or bath seal in one can show up on the ceiling below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. St John's Wood has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.

If you live in an older home near Church of All Souls, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. As a London address, St John's Wood can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface

Corners and edges

Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.

Kitchen splashbacks

Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.

How we quote for regrouting

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How many areas need sealing
  • Which sealant suits the joint
  • Whether the work is at height

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What to tell us for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • Where the property is
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work

Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

What we’re called out for in St John's Wood

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray

For landlords with property near South Hampstead station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What to look for in a quote

  • What the cure time is
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • Whether the sealant suits the joint
  • What preparation is included
