Regrouting for homes and businesses in Kidmore End
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Kidmore End, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Regrouting in Kidmore End: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Tilehurst station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Kidmore End Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
