Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
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.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Regrouting in Swalcliffe
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Common call-outs are for gaps where the shower grout has gone and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
For a small place like Swalcliffe, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Swalcliffe, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Your questions about regrouting in Swalcliffe
Is regrouting in Swalcliffe guaranteed?
All our work, in Swalcliffe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Swalcliffe in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Swalcliffe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Signs you need regrouting in Swalcliffe
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.

What else we do in Swalcliffe
Why it’s worth doing now in Swalcliffe
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Swalcliffe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
