How we handle regrouting in Shirburn
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Homes around Shirburn are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Shirburn as everywhere else we work.

What regrouting looks like in Shirburn
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Shirburn. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Schools such as Icknield Community College are buildings too, and washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Shirburn, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What affects the quote in Shirburn
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
When to call us in Shirburn
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Shirburn, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, 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 phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Shirburn?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do you cover Shirburn for regrouting?
Yes, Shirburn is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.

When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.

Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
