Regrouting in Winterbourne
We work across Winterbourne, 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 bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
In a village or hamlet like Winterbourne, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What we’re called out for in Winterbourne
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks

Why act early in Winterbourne
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Winterbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting in Winterbourne: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Winterbourne
Do you cover Winterbourne for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Winterbourne is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
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 resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Winterbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
