Skinner's Hill questions
Will you come out to Skinner's Hill?
Yes, Skinner's Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandown station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Skinner's Hill?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Regrouting in Skinner's Hill, done properly
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. If you are dealing with old grout in a dated colour and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can put it right.
Around Skinner's Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Skinner's Hill
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Skinner's Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

What we’re called out for in Skinner's Hill
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Managing a site like Newchurch 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.

Regrouting around Skinner's Hill
Skinner's Hill 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Skinner's Hill, 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 for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Move anything stored near the joints

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
