About our regrouting in Patching
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone.
Somewhere as small as Patching, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Signs you need regrouting in Patching
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St John the Divine, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Before booking anyone

- Whether the sealant suits the joint

Why act early in Patching
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In a small place like Patching, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
