How we handle regrouting in Shipton-under-Wychwood
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that makes sound tiles look old and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Being in a small place like Shipton-under-Wychwood makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we’re called out for in Shipton-under-Wychwood
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that will not come clean
If you let a flat or house near Shipton station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Before booking anyone
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What insurance they hold
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Shipton-under-Wychwood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What regrouting looks like in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shipton-under-Wychwood. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Wychwood Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Why act early in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Shipton-under-Wychwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
