Regrouting in Tickleback Row
We work across Tickleback Row, 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’re dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Tickleback Row are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Tickleback Row, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Tickleback Row, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Questions from Tickleback Row
Can you do regrouting in Tickleback Row?
Yes, Tickleback Row is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
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. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Signs you need regrouting in Tickleback Row
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Tickleback Row homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garth Hill College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
