How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Drayton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

How we handle regrouting in Drayton
Across Drayton, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
In and around Drayton, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Regrouting around Drayton
Drayton is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Springfield School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Cosham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
If you’re in Drayton and need regrouting, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Drayton questions
I let a flat near Cosham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Drayton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Drayton, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Signs you need regrouting in Drayton
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you live in an older home near Drayton Methodist Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
