Regrouting in East Ilsley, West Berkshire
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in East Ilsley. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Regrouting in East Ilsley, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you’re dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Somewhere as small as East Ilsley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like East Ilsley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like East Ilsley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- 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.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common problems we fix in East Ilsley
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you look after a building such as The Ilsleys Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who turns up on the day

Questions from East Ilsley
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in East Ilsley?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Is East Ilsley in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and East Ilsley is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
