Regrouting for homes and businesses in Englefield
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you are dealing with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Englefield, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

When to call us in Englefield
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How we quote for regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

What else we do in Englefield
Englefield homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Englefield C.E. Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Theale station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Englefield: your questions answered
Is Englefield in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Englefield is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Theale station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Englefield needs a little journey planning: 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 check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Englefield, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
