How we handle regrouting in Alton
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Homes around Alton have been extended and refitted over the decades. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a family home in Alton, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What we’re called out for in Alton
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before booking anyone
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. For a job in Alton, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- 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.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
FAQs for Alton
Is Alton in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Alton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Alton station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Alton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
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. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What regrouting looks like in Alton
Alton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Saint Lawrence Church of England Primary School? Then 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. For landlords with property near Alton station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
