Swinbrook Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Swinbrook? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Swinbrook
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
Homes around Swinbrook are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Your questions about regrouting in Swinbrook
Do you cover Swinbrook for regrouting?
Yes, Swinbrook is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Shipton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Around Swinbrook, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Swinbrook, 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.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Regrouting in Swinbrook: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burford School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Shipton station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

When to call us in Swinbrook
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
