About our regrouting in Startop's End
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Homes around Startop's End are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Regrouting around Startop's End
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.
If you look after a building such as Marsworth Church of England Infant School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Tring station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Startop's End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Common questions in Startop's End
Can you do regrouting in Startop's End?
Yes, Startop's End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Startop's End?
Yes. Startop's End is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Startop's End?
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.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first.
