About our regrouting in Merstone
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Somewhere as small as Merstone, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

FAQs for Merstone
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Merstone in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Merstone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.

How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
How much does regrouting cost in Merstone?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you need regrouting in Merstone?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Merstone
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Merstone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
