Regrouting in Boxford

We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have old grout in a dated colour and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and tiled floors alike.

Around Boxford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.

Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Boxford and across West Berkshire.

Signs you need regrouting in Boxford

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 is used every day.

The problems people generally mention when they call include:

  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift

In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Why deal with it now?

It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Older cottages and farmhouses around Boxford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

  • We’re fully insured
  • Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Can I do it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

Do you reseal at the same time?

We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.

Regrouting in Boxford: local notes

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Rented homes near Kintbury station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What we can’t put right

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we seal

  • Wet rooms
  • Shower walls
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Kitchen splashbacks

DIY versus a professional finish

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

For landlords and businesses

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Stick to mild products for cleaning grout

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.

Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.

What we do, step by step

Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Boxford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Getting ready for the visit

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Mention any parking rules near the property
