- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor

- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
How we handle regrouting in Birch Hill
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old, across tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Smaller places like Birch Hill still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Birch Hill: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Bracknell, which Birch Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Do you need regrouting in Birch Hill?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you look after a building such as Birch Hill Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Your questions about regrouting in Birch Hill
Do older homes in Birch Hill need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Will you come out to Birch Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Birch Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Birch Hill, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
