Regrouting for homes and businesses in Whitley
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. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have shower grout that has worn away and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can help, whatever the surface.
Smaller places like Whitley still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In an older home around Whitley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

- Tidy, careful work

Whitley homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Whitley. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Reading Green Park station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near St Agnes, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as John Madejski Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

What else we do in Whitley
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
FAQs for Whitley
Is Whitley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Reading Green Park station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It gets worn and dirty.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
