DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
About our regrouting in Wick Hill
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
Around Wick Hill, you’ll 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Regrouting in Wick Hill: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Wick Hill is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes dating from the post-war decades, plenty of bathrooms have been resealed or refitted more than once. Sealant laid over old sealant never bonds properly, so it all has to come out.
For landlords with property near Bracknell station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Wick Hill is about 1 mile north-east of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Jobs in Wick Hill get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Wick Hill
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
If you look after a building such as Warfield Church of England Primary School, 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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Wick Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Why act early in Wick Hill
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In an older home around Wick Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common questions in Wick Hill
Should the sealant in an older Wick Hill home be renewed?
Usually, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.
Do you cover smaller places like Wick Hill?
Yes. Wick Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
