How we handle regrouting in Rudmore
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and crumbling grout between the tiles.
In and around Rudmore, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Regrouting around Rudmore
Rudmore 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. Rudmore has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like The Flying Bull Academy? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Rudmore: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Portsmouth & Southsea station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Rudmore?
Yes. Rudmore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In an older home around Rudmore, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Rudmore, 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.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Signs you need regrouting in Rudmore
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep the fan on after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
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.
