Regrouting in Alverstoke, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. If you have good tiles let down by tired grout and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Alverstoke, 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, in Alverstoke and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Alverstoke, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

When to call us in Alverstoke
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
Homes close to The Little Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Bathrooms and kitchens in Alverstoke
Alverstoke is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Alverstoke Community Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Portsmouth Harbour station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Alverstoke questions
Do you take on hotel work around Alverstoke?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Portsmouth Harbour station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. 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 affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The size of the job
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Alverstoke, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
