About our regrouting in Gatcombe
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. We are often asked to deal with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and shower grout that has worn away, on bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and bathroom floors.
Around Gatcombe, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.

Your questions about regrouting in Gatcombe
Will you come out to Gatcombe?
Yes. Gatcombe is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Gatcombe?
Yes, Gatcombe is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Gatcombe, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Landlord and commercial work in Gatcombe
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Signs you need regrouting in Gatcombe
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.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Homes close to St. Olave's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
