- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a small place like Ruscombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

About our regrouting in Ruscombe
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
In a village or hamlet like Ruscombe, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
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
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Ruscombe, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.

When to call us in Ruscombe
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Old grout in a dated colour
In the older streets around Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Ruscombe homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Polehampton Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Twyford station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
