Regrouting in Wickham Heath
We work across Wickham Heath, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about corners filled with grout instead of silicone and good tiles let down by tired grout.
For a small place like Wickham Heath, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere like Wickham Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
When to call us in Wickham Heath
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Managing a site like Stockcross C.E. School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
Regrouting around Wickham Heath
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Why act early in Wickham Heath
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Wickham Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
