- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we handle regrouting in Fareham Common
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors alike.
In a smaller place like Fareham Common, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Regrouting around Fareham Common
Fareham Common is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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 Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For landlords with property near Fareham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What we’re called out for in Fareham Common
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you look after a building such as Wykeham House School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

What else we do in Fareham Common
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Fareham Common, 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.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Common questions in Fareham Common
Is Fareham Common in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Fareham Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Fareham Common within the area you cover?
Yes, Fareham Common is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
