Regrouting in Houghton
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include grout in a colour the owner wants to change and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across wet rooms, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
In a village or hamlet like Houghton, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Landlord and commercial work in Houghton
Landlords and letting agents in Houghton can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Older cottages and farmhouses around Houghton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Shower walls

- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Houghton homes and their sealant
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Test Valley School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Houghton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
