Regrouting in Mansbridge

Regrouting in Mansbridge, done properly

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and crumbling grout between the tiles.

In a smaller place like Mansbridge, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What affects the quote in Mansbridge

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The type of sealant required
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What to tell us for a quote

What to tell us when you ask for a quote:

  • Where the property is
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • The type of property

If you’re in Mansbridge and need regrouting, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.

Common problems we fix in Mansbridge

A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
  • Cracked grout along the bath or tray
  • Floor grout that won’t come clean
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles

If you look after a building such as Mansbridge Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Our hiring checklist

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:

  • Keep the fan on after showering
  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout

Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.

Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

The process

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking around Mansbridge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
  2. We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Regrouting in Mansbridge: 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.

In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Swaythling station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Mansbridge is about 2 miles north-east of Southampton, in Southampton. Mansbridge gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 40 towns and villages across Southampton, large and small.

Every address in SO18, SO16 and SO17 is within our area for regrouting, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include Wide Lane, Dart Road and Copse Road, and we cover them all. You’ll find Mansbridge on the A27, which makes it straightforward to reach with everything needed for regrouting. We also cover the places around Mansbridge: Townhill Park (1 mile south-east), Swaythling (1 mile west), Midanbury (1 mile south), Chartwell Green (1 mile south-east) and Bitterne Park (1 mile south). Further out, we also cover Shirley (3 miles west), Regents Park (3 miles west), Sholing (3 miles south), Maybush (4 miles west), Woolston (3 miles south) and Coxford (3 miles west).

Around Mansbridge

Other landmarks nearby include Bitterne Local History Society Heritage And Research Centre (1.6 miles south) and Netley Castle (4.1 miles south). The countryside around Mansbridge includes Netley Common.

What the job involves on each surface

Wet rooms

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.

Corners and edges

We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.

Why deal with it now?

If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Mansbridge, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What we can’t put right

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:

  • Tiles that have come away from the wall
  • Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Mansbridge questions

I let a flat near Swaythling station. Can you help?

Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Will you come out to Mansbridge?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can I do it myself?

That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Will it make a mess?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No. The old sealant always comes out first.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
