Regrouting for homes and businesses in Markyate
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are good tiles let down by tired grout and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Around Markyate, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Markyate as everywhere else we work.

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, 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.
Do you need regrouting in Markyate?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
If you look after a building such as Markyate Village School and Nursery, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
