Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, 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.

Common problems we fix in Burghfield Bridge
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Old grout in a dated colour
Managing a site like Kennet Valley Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Burghfield Bridge, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Burghfield Bridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
