Regrouting in Downton
Regrouting across Downton and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Regrouting in Downton, done properly
Across Downton, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Being in a small place like Downton makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Downton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Downton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Downton
Bathrooms and kitchens in Downton
Downton 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near New Milton station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
