Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Regrouting in Swinford
We work across Swinford, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
For a small place like Swinford, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What regrouting looks like in Swinford
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Eynsham Community 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. If you let a flat or house near Hanborough station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Signs you need regrouting in Swinford
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Swinford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hanborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Swinford in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Swinford is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
