Regrouting in Tilehurst
Professional regrouting in and around Tilehurst, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.

Regrouting in Tilehurst, done properly
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
In and around Tilehurst, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal

What regrouting looks like in Tilehurst
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Tilehurst Methodist Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Park Lane Primary School? Then 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.

Signs you need regrouting in Tilehurst
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Rented homes near Tilehurst station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Tilehurst is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Common questions in Tilehurst
Is Tilehurst within the area you cover?
Yes. Tilehurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Tilehurst station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out before any grout comes out.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a smaller place like Tilehurst, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
