How we handle regrouting in Ockham
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, across shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Ockham makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Ockham, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Do you need regrouting in Ockham?
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
