About our regrouting in Shackleford
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you have splashback grout that has darkened and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Shackleford, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Shackleford and across Surrey.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
Signs you need regrouting in Shackleford
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Schools such as St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Shackleford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shackleford
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Godalming station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
