About our regrouting in St Stephens
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have grout that makes sound tiles look old and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
In and around St Stephens, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Common questions in St Stephens
Can you help a landlord with a rental near St Albans Abbey station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near St Stephens?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How it works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking around St Stephens is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In an older home around St Stephens, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Regrouting around St Stephens
St Stephens has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Marlborough Science Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St. Stephen's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near St Albans Abbey station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
