Regrouting for homes and businesses in Abbotswood
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in corners that has cracked, on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Abbotswood are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Regrouting in Abbotswood: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Abbotswood. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Cupernham Infant 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. Rented homes near Romsey station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What affects the quote in Abbotswood
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For regrouting in Abbotswood, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you will get a clear quote before work begins.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Common questions in Abbotswood
I let a flat near Romsey station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Abbotswood?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How much does regrouting cost in Abbotswood?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Abbotswood, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote

Common problems we fix in Abbotswood
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you live in an older home near St Swithun's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Abbotswood can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
