Regrouting for homes and businesses in East Lockinge
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 can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Being in a small place like East Lockinge makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere like East Lockinge 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in East Lockinge
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around East Lockinge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What affects the quote in East Lockinge
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
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 matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
East Lockinge homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Around East Lockinge, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
