Regrouting in Burghfield Common: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Mortimer station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and crumbling grout between the tiles, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Burghfield Common range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

What we are called out for in Burghfield Common
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
If you look after a building such as Garland Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In an older home around Burghfield Common, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Tidy, careful work
- Full insurance on every job

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. A visit to Burghfield Common is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. 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.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Common questions in Burghfield Common
Do you cover Burghfield Common for regrouting?
Yes, Burghfield Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mortimer station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
