What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Millbrook, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in

How we handle regrouting in Millbrook
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’re often asked to deal with floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Homes around Millbrook range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What regrouting looks like in Millbrook
Millbrook is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Millbrook has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Tanners Brook Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Landlord and commercial work in Millbrook
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.

Do you work for landlords with property near Millbrook (Hants) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Millbrook?
Yes. Millbrook is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Millbrook
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Rented homes near Millbrook (Hants) station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
