Regrouting in Old Netley
We cover Old Netley for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Signs you need regrouting in Old Netley
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
In the older streets around St Paul’s Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Regrouting in Old Netley
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls alike.
Around Old Netley, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

What else we do in Old Netley
What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why deal with it now?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around Old Netley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What regrouting looks like in Old Netley
Old Netley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Bursledon Church of England Infant 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. For landlords with property near Bursledon station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Somewhere like Old Netley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
