Regrouting in Hill Grove
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Somewhere as small as Hill Grove, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Hill Grove
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Questions from Hill Grove
Is Hill Grove in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hill Grove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Hill Grove within the area you cover?
Yes. Hill Grove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Regrouting around Hill Grove
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Botley station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. In a small place like Hill Grove, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hill Grove
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you live in an older home near Church of St Barnabas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- 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.
