- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone

- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
About our regrouting in Rookley
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 work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
In a village or hamlet like Rookley, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Rookley
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Chillerton and Rookley Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near St. Olave's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Rookley
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rookley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Common questions in Rookley
Do you work for landlords with property near Shanklin station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rookley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Landlord and commercial work in Rookley
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
