How we handle regrouting in Ardington
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Ardington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

When to call us in Ardington
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Ardington questions
Is regrouting in Ardington guaranteed?
All our work, in Ardington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will you come out to Ardington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

What else we do in Ardington
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Ardington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
