DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Regrouting in Fareham
We work across Fareham, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can put it right, on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and bathroom floors alike.
Around Fareham, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, where sealant and grout take a lot of daily wear. Black mould along the bath, a lifting bead by the sink or crumbling grout in the shower are the usual signs.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.
Regrouting around Fareham
Fareham is close to 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near St John The Evangelist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as St Jude's Catholic Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Fareham, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
What we are called out for in Fareham
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you let a flat or house near Fareham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Fareham, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
