DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our regrouting in Watch House Green
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 has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you’re dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Around Watch House Green, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Quotes for regrouting in Watch House Green
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Watch House Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.

FAQs for Watch House Green
Can you do regrouting in Watch House Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Watch House Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Watch House Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
When to call us in Watch House Green
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Homes close to Church of the Holy Cross include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
