What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
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 play a part.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Bitterne
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked grout along the bath or tray and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
In and around Bitterne, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need regrouting in Bitterne?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Saviour, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Bitterne: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bitterne station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Bitterne?
Yes. Bitterne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How long should I wait before showering?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you grout the corners?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bitterne
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Bitterne, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking around Bitterne is generally 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What else we do in Bitterne
Bitterne homes and their sealant
Bitterne is close to 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.
Letting a property close to Bitterne station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Bitterne CE Primary School, 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.
