How we handle regrouting in Dunsbury
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you are dealing with floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Dunsbury, 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.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Dunsbury, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Signs you need regrouting in Dunsbury
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that will not come clean
In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Dunsbury homes and their sealant
Dunsbury is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
In and around Dunsbury, as anywhere, good regrouting starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Dunsbury can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Can landlords and businesses book you?

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
