Regrouting for homes and businesses in Dunsden Green
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or crumbling grout lines and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Dunsden Green, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Dunsden Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Dunsden Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Regrouting around Dunsden Green
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.
Schools such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Reading station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
