Regrouting for homes and businesses in Arborfield Cross
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you are dealing with good tiles let down by tired grout and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help.
Being in a small place like Arborfield Cross makes no difference to the job itself: 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’ve gone.

Why act early in Arborfield Cross
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Arborfield Cross, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Arborfield Cross questions
I let a flat near Winnersh station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Arborfield Cross in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Arborfield Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Common problems we fix in Arborfield Cross
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
Regrouting around Arborfield Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Bartholomew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you let a flat or house near Winnersh station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
