How we handle regrouting in Botley
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We are often asked to deal with cracked or crumbling grout lines and floor grout that won’t come clean, across tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms.
Smaller places like Botley still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. 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.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

FAQs for Botley

Yes. Botley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take on hotel work around Botley?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.

What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a job in Botley, 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.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a smaller place like Botley, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Botley
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Look out for any of the following:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Homes close to St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Botley has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Botley School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
