Regrouting in Bassett, Southampton
Tiled areas in Bassett need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Bassett
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Bassett are handled the same careful way. We work on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and old grout in a dated colour.
In and around Bassett, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bassett and across Southampton.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Bassett
Bassett is within about 3 miles 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Swaythling station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Bassett is about 2 miles north-west of Southampton, in Southampton. Anywhere in SO16, our applicators can take on regrouting. We cover 40 towns and villages across Southampton, from the larger towns to small villages.

Common problems we fix in Bassett
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cantell School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What else we do in Bassett
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, 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.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Bassett is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Bassett: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swaythling station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do regrouting in Bassett?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bassett is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Bassett?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
