Regrouting in Astrope
Professional regrouting in and around Astrope, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Astrope, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

About our regrouting in Astrope
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Common call-outs are for gaps where the shower grout has gone and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across bathroom floors, shower walls and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Astrope, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What else we do in Astrope
How we quote for regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Astrope needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Astrope
Do you cover Astrope for regrouting?
Yes, Astrope is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Cheddington station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How much does regrouting cost in Astrope?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Astrope
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Mary (Church of England) include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Long Marston VA Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we’re called out for in Astrope
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout washed out of a shower
Rented homes near Cheddington station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
