About our regrouting in Somerton
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Somerton are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and good tiles let down by tired grout, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Somerton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What regrouting looks like in Somerton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Your questions about regrouting in Somerton
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Heyford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Somerton?
Yes. Somerton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Somerton
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Do you need regrouting in Somerton?
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For landlords with property near Heyford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Check the corner silicone every few months
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Leave it or put it right?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Older cottages and farmhouses around Somerton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
