How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Sonning Common, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints

How we handle regrouting in Sonning Common
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about grout washed out of a shower and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Even in a smaller place like Sonning Common, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Sonning Common
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
Homes close to The Church of Christ the King include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

Sonning Common homes and their sealant
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.
