About our regrouting in Caversham Heights
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Around Caversham Heights, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What regrouting looks like in Caversham Heights
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Caversham Heights. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around St. Andrew's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Schools such as Caversham Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Reading station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking around Caversham Heights is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.

What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Caversham Heights, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
