About our regrouting in Cove
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Homes around Cove range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cove and across Hampshire.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Cove is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.

Cove homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. Cove has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Parsonage Farm Nursery and Infant School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in Cove
Do you cover smaller places like Cove?
Yes. Cove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Cove?
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.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When to call us in Cove
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Rented homes near Fleet station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
