Regrouting in Merton, Oxfordshire
Our applicators work in Merton on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Old grout in a dated colour
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Merton, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Merton
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
For a small place like Merton, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Merton
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Merton can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

Merton homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Bicester Village station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Quotes for regrouting in Merton
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Merton
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
Homes close to Church of St Swithin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Your questions about regrouting in Merton
Is Merton in your area for regrouting?

Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
