Ewelme Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Ewelme, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
About our regrouting in Ewelme
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
In a village or hamlet like Ewelme, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about regrouting in Ewelme
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Ewelme?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Ewelme within the area you cover?
Yes. Ewelme is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Ewelme, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Landlord and commercial work in Ewelme
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Ewelme homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Ewelme CofE Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Do you need regrouting in Ewelme?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
