Regrouting near Arborfield

Common questions in Arborfield

I let a flat near Winnersh station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is Arborfield in your area for regrouting?

Yes, Arborfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

How long does regrouting take?

As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?

Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.

Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?

We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

About our regrouting in Arborfield

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and splashback grout that has darkened.

For a small place like Arborfield, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:

  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Rinse the tiles after showering
  • Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.

Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

How we quote for regrouting

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The product the joint needs
  • The size of the job
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

What to tell us for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:

  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Where the property is
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job.

Honest limits

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

  • A floor or wall that keeps moving
  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • A leaking shower valve or waste

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Wet rooms
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom floors

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.

Shower walls

Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

Can I do it myself?

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Arborfield

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.

Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Arborfield and across Reading. We can quote a run of properties together.

Arborfield homes and their sealant

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

If you live in an older home near Church of St Bartholomew, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How it works

On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Arborfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
