Regrouting for Tower Hill homes and businesses

Bathrooms and kitchens in Tower Hill

Tower Hill has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. London’s water is hard, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

As a London address, Tower Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around Church of St Peter ad Vincula, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as The Aldgate School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Tower Hill is about 1 mile north-east of London, in Greater London. Whether you are in the middle of Tower Hill or further out, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. Our Greater London coverage runs to 764 places, and Tower Hill is one of them.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Tower Hill

Grout is the filler between your 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, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and floor grout that won’t come clean.

Hard London water leaves limescale on sealant, grout and taps alike. In Tower Hill, regrouting is as much about a room looking cared for as about keeping water out.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface

Corners and edges

Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.

Wet rooms

Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.

What happens if it’s left?

Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Tower Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Landlord and commercial work in Tower Hill

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

For anyone letting property in or around Tower Hill, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Tower Hill: your questions answered

Could a tired shower seal in my Tower Hill flat affect the neighbours below?

Yes, it can. Water that gets past failed sealant or cracked grout can run under the bath or tray and show up on the ceiling below. It’s far simpler to replace tired sealant early than to deal with a neighbour’s ceiling.

Do you work for landlords with property near London Fenchurch Street station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

What does regrouting cost?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.

When can I use the shower again?

We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

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

Do you work in Tower Hill?

Yes. We cover Tower Hill and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Should I try it myself first?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • A floor or wall that keeps moving

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Where we work in Tower Hill

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

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.

Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

How the visit works

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Tower Hill. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
