Regrouting in Hythe, Hampshire
Our applicators work in Hythe on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on how much there is to do. Parking in a town like Hythe is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Regrouting in Hythe, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right.
Plenty of homes in a town like Hythe have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Hythe: your questions answered
I let a flat near Southampton Town Quay station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Hythe?
All our work, in Hythe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.

Hythe homes and their sealant
Hythe 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.
Managing a site like Waterside Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St John, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Hythe is about 4 miles south of Southampton, in Hampshire. Every kind of property in Hythe can book us for regrouting. The work is guaranteed for a year. Hythe is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In Hythe, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Do you need regrouting in Hythe?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Rented homes near Southampton Town Quay station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is VAT in the price?
