Do you need regrouting in Knowl Hill?
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Knowl Hill
We work across Knowl Hill, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
Around Knowl Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Your questions about regrouting in Knowl Hill
Can you do regrouting in Knowl Hill?
Yes, Knowl Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wargrave station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out before any grout comes out.
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.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Regrouting in Knowl Hill: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For landlords with property near Wargrave station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Knowl Hill, 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 start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
Why act early in Knowl Hill
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Knowl Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why Knowl Hill customers choose us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
