How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Upper Basildon, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
How we handle regrouting in Upper Basildon
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you’re dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout washed out of a shower, we can help, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Around Upper Basildon, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Upper Basildon and across Oxfordshire.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Upper Basildon homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to St Stephen's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Basildon C.E. Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Shower walls

Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

When can I use the shower again?

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Upper Basildon
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Letting a property close to Pangbourne station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
