About our regrouting in Ashurst

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. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right.

For a small place like Ashurst, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The process

There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In a small place like Ashurst, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Ashurst: your questions answered

Is Ashurst within the area you cover?

Yes. Ashurst is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Is Ashurst in your area for regrouting?

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ashurst is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

Will you leave a mess?

No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

How long should I wait before showering?

The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.

Can you change the grout colour?

Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.

Different surfaces, different methods

Wet rooms

Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.

Corners and edges

We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.

How we quote for regrouting

You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • How much there is to do
  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • The type of property
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Ashurst

Ashurst is within about 3 miles of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Homes close to Colbury Christ Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Foxhills Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?

Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Ashurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Why book with us

  • We never seal over old sealant
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Neat joints and a tidy finish

When to call us in Ashurst

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Good tiles let down by tired grout
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
  • Shower grout that has worn away

Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
