Benson questions
Do you cover smaller places like Benson?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Cholsey station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
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.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
About our regrouting in Benson
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Even in a smaller place like Benson, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. A visit to Benson is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Benson, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
How we quote for regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
What regrouting looks like in Benson
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Benson Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Cholsey station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of St Helen, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
