About our regrouting in Pingewood
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. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and splashback grout that has darkened, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
For a small place like Pingewood, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Common problems we fix in Pingewood
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Rented homes near Reading Green Park station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Pingewood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Common questions in Pingewood
Is Pingewood within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Reading Green Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Is it OK to seal over 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.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
What regrouting looks like in Pingewood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Pingewood has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as The WREN School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
