About our regrouting in Harpsden
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Harpsden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Harpsden as everywhere else we work.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Harpsden can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Harpsden
I let a flat near Henley-On-Thames station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work in hotels near Harpsden?
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 regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We normally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Regrouting around Harpsden
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Harpsden. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Trinity Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Henley-On-Thames station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Quotes for regrouting in Harpsden
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
