About our regrouting in Hethe
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms alike.
Being in a small place like Hethe makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Regrouting in Hethe: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Fringford Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of St Edmund and George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. Somewhere like Hethe needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
