Regrouting in Sandford St Martin, Oxfordshire

Regrouting in Sandford St Martin
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that won’t come clean, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
Around Sandford St Martin, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we are called out for in Sandford St Martin
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Sandford St Martin, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
