- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Regrouting in Hawthorn Hill, done properly
Across Hawthorn Hill, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We are often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and good tiles let down by tired grout, across kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Somewhere as small as Hawthorn Hill, 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.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hawthorn Hill
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Holyport College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Hawthorn Hill, 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

FAQs for Hawthorn Hill
Is Hawthorn Hill in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Hawthorn Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Bracknell station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
Common problems we fix in Hawthorn Hill
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
