How we handle regrouting in Letcombe Bassett
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right.
Being in a small place like Letcombe Bassett makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What affects the quote in Letcombe Bassett
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Letcombe Bassett, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Letcombe Bassett
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Around Letcombe Bassett, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Comparing quotes

- What happens if the job turns out different
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Letcombe Bassett can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Letcombe Bassett
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Letcombe Bassett
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Letcombe Bassett?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover smaller places like Letcombe Bassett?
Yes, Letcombe Bassett is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
