Regrouting in Ilmer, Buckinghamshire
Our applicators work in Ilmer on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout washed out of a shower
Regrouting in Ilmer
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you’re dealing with crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in corners that has cracked, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Ilmer, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we’re called out for in Ilmer
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Ilmer, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

What the job involves on each 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 get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
