Regrouting in Shalcombe
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you are dealing with shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Shalcombe, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Shalcombe, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.

What regrouting looks like in Shalcombe
Shalcombe is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Around Shalcombe, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Signs you need regrouting in Shalcombe
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
