Regrouting in Play Hatch, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We’re often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
For a small place like Play Hatch, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Landlord and commercial work in Play Hatch
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Play Hatch, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Signs you need regrouting in Play Hatch
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you look after a building such as St Martin's Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Play Hatch: your questions answered
Will you come out to Play Hatch?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Play Hatch can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Regrouting in Play Hatch: local notes
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Play Hatch. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Reading station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around St Andrew's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
