Regrouting for Hornton homes and businesses

About our regrouting in Hornton

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are splashback grout that has darkened and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.

For a small place like Hornton, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hornton and across Oxfordshire.

Aftercare tips

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly

Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hornton

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.

What happens on the day

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Hornton, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Getting ready for the visit

When something else is needed

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:

  • Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Bathroom floors
  • Tiled floors
  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Shower walls

How we quote for regrouting

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether the work is at height
  • The product the joint needs
  • The number of rooms or windows

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:

  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • If someone has resealed it before

Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.

What regrouting looks like in Hornton

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

FAQs for Hornton

Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Hornton?

Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Can you do regrouting in Hornton?

Yes, Hornton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Is resealing included with regrouting?

In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.

Surface by surface

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.

Bathroom floors

If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.

Common problems we fix in Hornton

Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Grout washed out of a shower
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift

If you look after a building such as Hornton Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
