Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
About our regrouting in Newtown Common
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 shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Somewhere as small as Newtown Common, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Questions from Newtown Common
Can you do regrouting in Newtown Common?
Yes, Newtown Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Newtown Common?
Yes. Newtown Common is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Newtown Common
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary and St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Newbury station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Horris Hill School, 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.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Newtown Common
Landlord and commercial work in Newtown Common
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Newtown Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
