- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, 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 in most cases. Parking in a town like Ryde is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Regrouting in Ryde
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you’re dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Ryde mixes older houses with estates built more recently, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Either way, the sealant and grout are generally the first things to fail.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy household in Ryde they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.

Ryde: your questions answered
I let a flat near Ryde St Johns Road station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ryde?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Ryde
Ryde is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ryde. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Ryde St Johns Road station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Dover Park Primary School? Then 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 an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are 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.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
