Regrouting for homes and businesses in Lower Caversham
We work across Lower Caversham, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Homes around Lower Caversham range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Lower Caversham
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a smaller place like Lower Caversham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and the area is left clean. For a job in Lower Caversham, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Regrouting around Lower Caversham
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Lower Caversham. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Reading station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like St Anne's Catholic Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Lower Caversham
I let a flat near Reading station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you take on hotel work around Lower Caversham?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
