Regrouting around Temple Bar
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, which is why it’s worth fixing early. London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Temple Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Temple Bar is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. For landlords with property near City Thameslink station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

About our regrouting in Temple Bar
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
London’s water is hard, so limescale builds up along sealant lines, in grout and on fittings. For a bathroom or kitchen in Temple Bar, getting the joints right keeps water where it belongs and the room looking clean.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Temple Bar and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Landlord and commercial work in Temple Bar
If you manage several properties in or around Temple Bar, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are 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.
Why act early in Temple Bar
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Temple Bar, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

FAQs for Temple Bar
Is parking an issue for regrouting in Temple Bar?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near City Thameslink station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Temple Bar?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will confirm how long when we quote.

The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In Temple Bar, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
