How we handle regrouting in Cowes
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and tiled floors, and people most often call us about kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and grout in corners that has cracked.
Most bathrooms in a town like Cowes are in family homes, used every day, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Draughts from a gap round a frame, damp under a sill or water behind a bath panel all start small, and they’re far easier to fix early.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Cowes
For anyone letting property in or around Cowes, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. For a job in Cowes, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

Questions from Cowes
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Cowes?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you take on hotel work around Cowes?
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 the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
