How we handle regrouting in Shutford
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. If you’re dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and grout in corners that has cracked, we can help, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Shutford, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Shutford homes and their sealant
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Shutford

Where do you work from?

Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How long does the job take?

Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

What else we do in Shutford
Do you need regrouting in Shutford?
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
If you let a flat or house near Banbury station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Shutford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Full insurance on every job
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. In a small place like Shutford, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
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.
