About our regrouting in Hillhead
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Somewhere as small as Hillhead, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Hillhead questions
Do you cover Hillhead for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hillhead is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Hamble station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before we start.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hillhead
Hillhead is close to 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Hamble station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Hillhead, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Can I do it myself?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.

Why deal with it now?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hillhead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
