Regrouting in Oaker Hill, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and shower walls alike.
Somewhere as small as Oaker Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Regrouting around Oaker Hill
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Landmarks near Oaker Hill

When to call us in Oaker Hill
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Oaker Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Oaker Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
