About our regrouting in Downend
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Downend, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Downend, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Downend
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
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.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job

Surfaces we seal

Why act early in Downend
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Downend, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Questions from Downend
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Downend for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Downend is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can I do 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.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Regrouting in Downend: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as St. George's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Medina College? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Smallbrook Junction station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
