Regrouting near Martyr Worthy

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Martyr Worthy

Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.

Around Martyr Worthy, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Common questions in Martyr Worthy

Do you work for landlords with property near Winchester station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.

Do you cover smaller places like Martyr Worthy?

Yes, Martyr Worthy is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out before any grout comes out.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.

Do I have to be there?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.

Can you change the grout colour?

It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.

Is it worth trying it myself?

For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

What affects the cost of regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:

  • The product the joint needs
  • The size of the job
  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Whether the work is at height

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, 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
  • The type of property
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • How we’d reach the joints

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

Should I try it myself first?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

Honest limits

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • A leaking wet room membrane
  • A leaking shower valve or waste

If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Bathroom floors
  • Bathroom wall tiles
  • Kitchen splashbacks
  • Wet rooms
  • Tiled floors
  • Shower walls

When to call us in Martyr Worthy

Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Crumbling grout between the tiles
  • Floor grout that has worn and darkened
  • Good tiles let down by tired grout

Schools such as Itchen Abbas Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Choosing a sealant specialist

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower

Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.

Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

What regrouting looks like in Martyr Worthy

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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Swithin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Winchester station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the visit works

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Martyr Worthy, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. Dust is cleared from every joint.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
