How we handle regrouting in New Hinksey
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Smaller places like New Hinksey still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathrooms and kitchens in New Hinksey
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around New Hinksey. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Oxford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as New Hinksey Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
