What regrouting looks like in Didcot
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.
Schools such as Manor Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Regrouting in Didcot
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you’re dealing with shower grout that has worn away and cracked grout along the bath or tray, we can help, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors alike.
Plenty of homes in a town like Didcot have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How we quote for regrouting
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In Didcot, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
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 you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- We’re fully insured

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Didcot, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Didcot: your questions answered
Is Didcot in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Didcot is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is regrouting in Didcot guaranteed?
All our work, in Didcot and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right 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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we’re called out for in Didcot
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Rented homes near Didcot Parkway station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether VAT is included
- How much experience the applicator has

What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
