Shellingford Regrouting
Our applicators work in Shellingford on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Shellingford
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can help.
Around Shellingford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Shellingford
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

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. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shellingford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in Shellingford
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The product the joint needs
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that is easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In a small place like Shellingford, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Common questions in Shellingford
Do you cover Shellingford for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shellingford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Shellingford?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
