How we handle regrouting in Chilson
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have floor grout that has worn and darkened and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms alike.
Around Chilson, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Chilson, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Questions from Chilson
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Chilson within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Chilson?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilson can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

When to call us in Chilson
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Chilson homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
