About our regrouting in Catmore
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Catmore, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Catmore
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Around Catmore, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

We also cover Farnborough (2 miles north-west), Brightwalton (2 miles west), Stanmore (2 miles south-east), Brightwalton Green (2 miles south-west) and West Ilsley (2 miles north-east).

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Signs you need regrouting in Catmore
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
FAQs for Catmore
Is Catmore within the area you cover?
Yes, Catmore is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Catmore for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Catmore is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Catmore
Landlords and agents in Catmore can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Catmore can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
