Regrouting in Baffins, Portsmouth
Our applicators work in Baffins on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Baffins
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you’re dealing with floor grout that won’t come clean and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right.
Even in a smaller place like Baffins, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Why it’s worth doing now in Baffins
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In a smaller place like Baffins, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Baffins questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fratton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Baffins?
Yes, Baffins is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Regrouting in Baffins: local notes
Baffins is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Fratton station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Langstone Junior Academy, 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.
Baffins is about 1 mile east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. From the centre of Baffins to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property. Across Portsmouth, we cover 19 places, Baffins among them.

When to call us in Baffins
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cuthbert, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

What affects the quote in Baffins
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
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 play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Baffins, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Baffins
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
