Regrouting in Shippon, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Around Shippon, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Larkmead School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Common questions in Shippon
Do you work for landlords with property near Radley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Shippon?
Yes, Shippon is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before any work starts.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.

Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How we’d reach the joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Shippon
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Shippon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
