About our regrouting in Shorthampton
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Being in a small place like Shorthampton 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Shorthampton and everywhere else we cover.

How we quote for regrouting

- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Shorthampton, 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 are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

What we’re called out for in Shorthampton
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For landlords with property near Charlbury station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Your questions about regrouting in Shorthampton
Do you cover Shorthampton for regrouting?
Yes, Shorthampton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Charlbury station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Shorthampton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks

Bathrooms and kitchens in Shorthampton
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
