Regrouting in Kempshott
Our applicators work in Kempshott on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Regrouting in Kempshott, done properly
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
In a smaller place like Kempshott, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Regrouting in Kempshott: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Basingstoke station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Kempshott Junior 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.

What affects the quote in Kempshott
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. 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. Around Kempshott, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why us?

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Kempshott, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints

Other services in Kempshott
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common questions in Kempshott
Will you come out to Kempshott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Signs you need regrouting in Kempshott
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
In the older streets around Saint Mark's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
