For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Cowley and across Oxfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Regrouting in Cowley, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Common call-outs are for cracked or crumbling grout lines and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Even in a smaller place like Cowley, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
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.
What we are called out for in Cowley
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
If you look after a building such as Our Lady's Roman Catholic 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.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a smaller place like Cowley, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Cowley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Cowley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Regrouting around Cowley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Cowley has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near Church of St Luke, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
