Regrouting in Swallowfield
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. Common call-outs are for floor grout that won’t come clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Swallowfield, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Swallowfield as everywhere else we work.

Do you need regrouting in Swallowfield?
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you look after a building such as Lambs Lane Primary School, 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.
What your quote should include
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- Are they insured?
Regrouting around Swallowfield
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Mortimer station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What affects the quote in Swallowfield
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- The size of the job
