Regrouting for homes and businesses in Great Shefford
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old, on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Homes around Great Shefford are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Your questions about regrouting in Great Shefford
Is Great Shefford in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Great Shefford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Great Shefford?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
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.
Do you need regrouting in Great Shefford?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound 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.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a small place like Great Shefford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Great Shefford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
