About our regrouting in South Newington
Across South Newington, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
In a village or hamlet like South Newington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What affects the cost of regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What regrouting looks like in South Newington
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 and around South Newington, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like South Newington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like South Newington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When to call us in South Newington
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.

- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
