How we handle regrouting in Shillingford
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Somewhere as small as Shillingford, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Shillingford and everywhere else we cover.

What we’re called out for in Shillingford
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Rented homes near Cholsey station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting in Shillingford: local notes
Shillingford has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as St Laurence Church of England (A) School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Shillingford questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shillingford?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cholsey station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Shillingford, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Shillingford, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
