Regrouting in Inkpen: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale 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 Inkpen Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Inkpen
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Being in a small place like Inkpen makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Can you do regrouting in Inkpen?
Yes, Inkpen is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Are you ARBOMaster approved?

Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we will tell you before work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Inkpen, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Inkpen
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Inkpen, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
