Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hipley
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. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and people most often call us about grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout in corners that has cracked.
Somewhere as small as Hipley, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Hipley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The type of sealant required
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hipley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Your questions about regrouting in Hipley
Do you work for landlords with property near Portchester station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Hipley within the area you cover?
Yes. Hipley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Regrouting in Hipley: local notes
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.
Managing a site like Newtown Soberton Infant School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Portchester station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
