Regrouting across Gardeners Green and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up

The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Gardeners Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
How to get a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Advice
About our regrouting in Gardeners Green
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Gardeners Green, 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.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wokingham.

What we are called out for in Gardeners Green
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
For an older house near a landmark such as St Sebastian's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Gardeners Green
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gardeners Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Gardeners Green homes and their sealant
Gardeners Green has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Saint Sebastians Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Do you work in hotels near Gardeners Green?
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.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
