Regrouting for homes and businesses in Gubblecote
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. Common call-outs are for discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Homes around Gubblecote are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.

The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Gubblecote, 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Regrouting in Gubblecote: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale 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 Long Marston VA Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near St Cross, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Cheddington station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.

Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Leave it or put it right?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gubblecote can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
