What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Westwick Row
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and cracked or crumbling grout lines.

What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Westwick Row can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Common problems we fix in Westwick Row
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you live in an older home near Church of Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Westwick Row needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Westwick Row
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Westwick Row is part of Hemel Hempstead, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first.
Schools such as Leverstock Green Church of England 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. For landlords with property near Apsley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Westwick Row: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Westwick Row?
Yes. Westwick Row is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Apsley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?

How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t 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.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Landlord and commercial work in Westwick Row
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
