- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Longlane, done properly
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Somewhere as small as Longlane, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Longlane, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Your questions about regrouting in Longlane
I let a flat near Newbury Racecourse station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Longlane?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Longlane is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Longlane?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you need regrouting in Longlane?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout washed out of a shower
Schools such as Curridge Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Longlane, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Longlane
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 an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
