About our regrouting in Checkendon
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can help, on shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Somewhere as small as Checkendon, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Checkendon and everywhere else we cover.

Checkendon questions
Do you cover Checkendon for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Checkendon is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Goring & Streatley station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Checkendon
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What affects the quote in Checkendon
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Checkendon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
Getting a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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.
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.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Checkendon homes and their sealant
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Checkendon Church of England (A) Primary School? Then 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.

What we are called out for in Checkendon
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- What the cure time is
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether you can choose the colour
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
