DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Walkern
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you are dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
For a small place like Walkern, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Common questions in Walkern
Can you do regrouting in Walkern?
Yes, Walkern is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Stevenage station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Walkern
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Stevenage station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Walkern Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Walkern, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Walkern, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
