About our regrouting in Old Basing
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you’re dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
In a smaller place like Old Basing, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Old Basing and across Hampshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
When to call us in Old Basing
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Old Basing homes and their sealant

FAQs for Old Basing
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Basingstoke station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Old Basing within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What information do you need?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
The process
There’s no need to move everything out, 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 for a typical job. In a smaller place like Old Basing, 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
