Regrouting in Wash Common
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We are often asked to deal with floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout washed out of a shower, across shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
Around Wash Common, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Signs you need regrouting in Wash Common
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you look after a building such as Falkland Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. In a smaller place like Wash Common, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Wash Common questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Wash Common in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wash Common is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Regrouting around Wash Common
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.
If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to St Luke Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
