Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Regrouting in Medstead
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include good tiles let down by tired grout and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Even in a smaller place like Medstead, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.

When to call us in Medstead
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Good Shepherd, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Why act early in Medstead
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Around Medstead, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Regrouting in Medstead: 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.
