Our applicators work in Newnham Murren on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

How we handle regrouting in Newnham Murren
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Typical jobs include cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
For a small place like Newnham Murren, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Signs you need regrouting in Newnham Murren
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Schools such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Why act early in Newnham Murren
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Older cottages and farmhouses around Newnham Murren can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Newnham Murren needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Cholsey station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What should I tell you?

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
