Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like East Garston, 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around East Garston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Common problems we fix in East Garston
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Around East Garston, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
