Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we handle regrouting in Westbourne Green
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and good tiles let down by tired grout, on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Much of London’s older housing is Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them now split into flats, with bathrooms fitted into whatever space was available. Small, steamy rooms are where mould gets into sealant and grout fastest.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
What regrouting looks like in Westbourne Green
In a London flat, water from a failed bath or shower seal can reach the neighbours below, so tired sealant is best dealt with early. Westbourne Green has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary Magdalene, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Edward Wilson Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. As a London address, Westbourne Green can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step

It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.

- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.

Questions from Westbourne Green
Do you take on hotel work around Westbourne Green?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Westbourne Green?
Parking in Westbourne Green, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
