Questions from Brook

Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst New Forest station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Brook?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What if some of my tiles are loose?

If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we will say so before going ahead.

Can you change the grout colour?

Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.

Should I try DIY first?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Brook?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

Is there any odour?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

Which products do you use?

It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Regrouting in Brook

Across Brook, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.

In a village or hamlet like Brook, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface

Bathroom floors

Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.

Do you need regrouting in Brook?

Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • A grout colour that no longer suits the room

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

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why

How to choose a mastic man

Should I try it myself first?

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:

  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
  • Damaged tiles that need replacing

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How it works

We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Brook needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

How to prepare

  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to get a quote

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

Leave it or put it right?

With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brook can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
