Your questions about regrouting in Nettlecombe
Can you do regrouting in Nettlecombe?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nettlecombe is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, including regrouting.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Regrouting in Nettlecombe
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right.
Homes around Nettlecombe are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

What we are called out for in Nettlecombe
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. In a small place like Nettlecombe, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
What affects the quote in Nettlecombe
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, 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.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the property is
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Nettlecombe homes and their sealant
Nettlecombe is close to 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. 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.
In the older streets around Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
