About our regrouting in Sprig's Alley
Across Sprig's Alley, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help.
Being in a small place like Sprig's Alley makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
FAQs for Sprig's Alley
I let a flat near Saunderton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Sprig's Alley for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Sprig's Alley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Sprig's Alley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.

Quotes for regrouting in Sprig's Alley
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises

What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

- Where the property is

Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Sprig's Alley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
When to call us in Sprig's Alley
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you let a flat or house near Saunderton station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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 fails, we can still redo it.
