Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
About our regrouting in Inkpen Common
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. If you’re dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help.
Being in a small place like Inkpen Common makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Inkpen Common
Is Inkpen Common in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Inkpen Common is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Inkpen Common within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Do you guarantee regrouting?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What regrouting looks like in Inkpen Common
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Laurence, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Inkpen 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. If you let a flat or house near Kintbury station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Inkpen Common is about 6 miles west of Newbury, in West Berkshire.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Inkpen Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit

What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Why it’s worth doing now in Inkpen Common
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Inkpen Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
