What we do, step by step

In total, it normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Caversham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- 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.

Regrouting in Caversham
Across Caversham, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
Plenty of homes in a town like Caversham have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Do you need regrouting in Caversham?
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Rented homes near Reading station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Caversham homes and their sealant
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Caversham. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Hill Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. In the older streets around Grace Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Caversham
Can you do regrouting in Caversham?
Yes, Caversham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Reading station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.

- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
