How we handle regrouting in Shilton
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Common call-outs are for splashback grout that has darkened and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Homes around Shilton are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll tell you when we quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Regrouting around Shilton
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Carterton Community College, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common problems we fix in Shilton
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Rood, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
