Regrouting in Colthrop
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout in corners that has cracked, across bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Colthrop, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Colthrop
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Thatcham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like Francis Baily Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Keep the fan on after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Leave it or put it right?
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Colthrop can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Colthrop, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
