Regrouting in Wantage, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We are often asked to deal with corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout washed out of a shower, on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Plenty of homes in a town like Wantage have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
When to call us in Wantage
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Wantage
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy home in Wantage they get worse with every use. Now is the easy time to put it right.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
