Ball Hill Regrouting
Our applicators work in Ball Hill on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Regrouting in Ball Hill, done properly
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. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Ball Hill, 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.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and commercial work in Ball Hill
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
What we’re called out for in Ball Hill
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Around Ball Hill, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Your questions about regrouting in Ball Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kintbury station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Ball Hill for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ball Hill is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ball Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Ball Hill, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- 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.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ball Hill
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.
Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
