How we handle regrouting in Great Holcombe
We work across Great Holcombe, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with splashback grout that has darkened and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
Homes around Great Holcombe are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Why deal with it now?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Great Holcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need regrouting in Great Holcombe
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Around Great Holcombe, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Common questions in Great Holcombe
Is Great Holcombe in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Great Holcombe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Holcombe?
Yes, Great Holcombe is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In a small place like Great Holcombe, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
