Regrouting in Gunville, Isle of Wight
Problem with your tiled areas in Gunville? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Regrouting in Gunville
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We’re often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Somewhere as small as Gunville, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Gunville, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Your questions about regrouting in Gunville
Can you do regrouting in Gunville?
Yes, Gunville is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take on hotel work around Gunville?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
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.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Gunville, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Gunville homes and their sealant
Gunville has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Carisbrooke College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
