- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
About our regrouting in Burghclere
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Burghclere, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we’re called out for in Burghclere
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Homes close to Church of the Ascension include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long the guarantee is
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured.
Burghclere questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burghclere?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Quotes for regrouting in Burghclere
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
Every job is quoted individually. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
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.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Burghclere, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
