Regrouting for homes and businesses in Reading Street
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you’re dealing with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout washed out of a shower, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Reading Street, 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.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Reading Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Reading Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Do you need regrouting in Reading Street?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
