Regrouting in Itchen, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Smaller places like Itchen still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In an older home around Itchen, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

When to call us in Itchen
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before we start.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For landlords with property near Woolston station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Regrouting around Itchen
Itchen is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ludlow Junior School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Jesus Chapel - St Mary Extra include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Itchen is about 2 miles south-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Every kind of property in Itchen can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Across Southampton, we cover 40 places, Itchen among them.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

Do the sealants smell?

We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
