Regrouting in Hilsea, done properly
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Common call-outs are for grout washed out of a shower and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, across shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Hilsea range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

What affects the cost of regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
If you are in Hilsea and need regrouting, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

Questions from Hilsea
Do you work in hotels near Hilsea?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Hilsea?
Yes. Hilsea 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.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Hilsea homes and their sealant
Hilsea 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hilsea. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Hilsea station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Gatcombe Park Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In a smaller place like Hilsea, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Signs you need regrouting in Hilsea
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you live in an older home near St Francis' Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
