Your questions about regrouting in Bonchurch
Do you work in hotels near Bonchurch?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in Bonchurch?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Bonchurch included.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
About our regrouting in Bonchurch
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and shower walls, and people most often call us about greasy, stained grout behind the hob and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Around Bonchurch, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Bonchurch and across the Isle of Wight.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Bonchurch
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
In the older streets around Old St. Boniface Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Before you book anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether they’re fully insured

What else we do in Bonchurch
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Bonchurch homes and their sealant
Bonchurch is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Catherine's 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. If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

The process

- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
