How we quote for regrouting

The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:

  • Whether the work is at height
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The size of the job
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Helping us quote

You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • How we’d reach the joints

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.

Regrouting in Shalfleet, done properly

We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have a grout colour that no longer suits the room and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.

In a village or hamlet like Shalfleet, 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.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

Do you need regrouting in Shalfleet?

Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

If you live in an older home near Church of St. Michael the Archangel, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Which colour the sealant will be

When it isn’t the sealant

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • A structure that flexes behind the tiles
  • Damaged tiles that need replacing
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What regrouting looks like in Shalfleet

Shalfleet 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, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Schools such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Shalfleet is about 5 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Anywhere in PO30, our applicators can take on regrouting. Across the Isle of Wight, we cover 125 places, Shalfleet among them. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 15 miles from Shalfleet.

Every address in PO30 is covered for regrouting. We cover properties on Scotts Close, Warlands Lane and Fleet Way and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Shalfleet: Cranmore (1 mile north-west), Hamstead (1 mile north-west), Bouldnor (3 miles west), Yarmouth (3 miles west) and Thorns Beach (5 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (5 miles east), Ryde (11 miles east), Cowes (6 miles north-east), Sandown (12 miles east), Shanklin (12 miles south-east) and Ventnor (12 miles south-east). If you’re somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed.

Why act early in Shalfleet

With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shalfleet, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What you get with us

How the visit works

When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Shalfleet, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

  1. We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
  5. We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the work
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Aftercare tips

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Have loose tiles looked at early
  • Check the corner silicone every few months

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.

Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
