- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Regrouting in Ashley
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Somewhere as small as Ashley, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Common questions in Ashley
Do you cover Ashley for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ashley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Ashley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Related advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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 the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ashley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Ashley homes and their sealant
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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
