Regrouting in St Margarets, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about grout washed out of a shower and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Being in a small place like St Margarets makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Bathrooms and kitchens in St Margarets
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as The Cranbourne 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. Rented homes near St Margarets (Herts) station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

St Margarets: your questions answered
I let a flat near St Margarets (Herts) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to St Margarets?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish.

- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in St Margarets
Why act early in St Margarets
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around St Margarets can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- We never seal over old sealant
- We are fully insured

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
