About our regrouting in South Town
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, on bathroom floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
In a village or hamlet like South Town, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like South Town, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Quotes for regrouting in South Town
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Signs you need regrouting in South Town
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Shower grout that has worn away
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Common questions in South Town
Do you work for landlords with property near Alton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is South Town within the area you cover?
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.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around South Town, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

South Town homes and their sealant
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.
Rented homes near Alton station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Medstead Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
