Regrouting in Speen
We work across Speen, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
For a small place like Speen, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Speen and across West Berkshire.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Speen, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Speen, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
Quotes for regrouting in Speen
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Speen homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Speen. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Newbury station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Speen is about 1 mile north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Speen gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 155 towns and villages across West Berkshire, large and small. Our Reading page covers work nearby.
Every address in RG14 and RG20 is covered for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. If you need regrouting at a property on Bath Road, Pound Lane and Speen Lane or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job. Nearby, we also carry out regrouting in Bagnor (1 mile north), Speenhamland (1 mile east), Donnington (1 mile north-east), Stockcross (1 mile north-west) and Shaw (1 mile east). We also work in nearby towns such as Thatcham (4 miles east), Burghfield Common (12 miles east), Hungerford (7 miles west), Calcot (13 miles east), Lambourn (11 miles north-west) and Burghfield Hill (13 miles east).
What’s near Speen
Typical jobs here are in homes near Victoria Park, St Bartholomew's School and The Starting Gate pub. The closest station to Speen is Newbury station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include British Balloon Museum & Library Ltd (1.1 miles east) and Donnington Castle (1.1 miles north). Open spaces near Speen include Rack Marsh.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Questions from Speen
Do you take on hotel work around Speen?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
I let a flat near Newbury station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you cover Speen?
Yes. We cover Speen and the rest of West Berkshire. For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
