How the visit works

After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In Thatcham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit

Regrouting in Thatcham, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout in corners that has cracked.
Plenty of homes in a town like Thatcham have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common questions in Thatcham
Do you work for landlords with property near Thatcham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Thatcham for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Thatcham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the quote in Thatcham
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Thatcham homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Spurcroft Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near United Reformed Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
