How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Michelmersh, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How we handle regrouting in Michelmersh
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and people most often call us about crumbling grout between the tiles and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Somewhere as small as Michelmersh, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Michelmersh
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Michelmersh, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Michelmersh homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Do you need regrouting in Michelmersh?
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
For landlords with property near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
