Regrouting in Freemantle
Our applicators work in Freemantle on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
How we handle regrouting in Freemantle
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include a grout colour that no longer suits the room and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls.
Even in a smaller place like Freemantle, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
Signs you need regrouting in Freemantle
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you let a flat or house near Millbrook (Hants) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How the colour is chosen

How we quote for regrouting
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Freemantle is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Bathrooms and kitchens in Freemantle
Freemantle 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Freemantle. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Christ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Freemantle Church of England Community Academy, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Freemantle is about 1 mile west of Southampton, in Southampton. We carry out regrouting for homes and businesses in Freemantle, as part of our work across Southampton. Freemantle is one of 40 places in Southampton where we work for regrouting.

Around Freemantle

Open spaces near Freemantle include Testwood Lakes.
Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In an older home around Freemantle, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
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.
