Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Setley and across Hampshire. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.

- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
How we handle regrouting in Setley
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout along the bath or tray and splashback grout that has darkened.
For a small place like Setley, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Setley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Signs you need regrouting in Setley
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Managing a site like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Setley
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Setley. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Brockenhurst station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We renew both.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Setley can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Setley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Your questions about regrouting in Setley
Do you work for landlords with property near Brockenhurst station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Setley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out at the start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
