- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
How we handle regrouting in Bucknell
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Somewhere as small as Bucknell, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. 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. In a small place like Bucknell, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Bucknell, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What regrouting looks like in Bucknell
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.
If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Schools such as Gagle Brook Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Questions from Bucknell
Do you cover Bucknell for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bucknell is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bicester North station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?

How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
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.
