How we handle regrouting in Ashampstead
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout washed out of a shower and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead, 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.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Ashampstead, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Regrouting around Ashampstead
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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 Clement, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What else we do in Ashampstead
Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ashampstead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
