When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

About our regrouting in Woodcock Hill
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Woodcock Hill are handled the same careful way. We are often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout washed out of a shower, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Woodcock Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Woodcock Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Ask for a quote

Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Woodcock Hill questions
Will you come out to Woodcock Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Rickmansworth station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
What regrouting looks like in Woodcock Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Rickmansworth station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Woodcock Hill
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
