DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Barkham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Common problems we fix in Barkham
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?

How we quote for regrouting
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.

Is the work guaranteed?

Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Barkham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like The Coombes Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
