Regrouting in Stockcross, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have grout in a colour the owner wants to change and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Stockcross, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Stockcross
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Managing a site like Stockcross C.E. School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Common questions in Stockcross
Is Stockcross in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Stockcross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.

Why act early in Stockcross
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stockcross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Landlords and agents in Stockcross can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What regrouting looks like in Stockcross
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St John, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
