Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Sprat's Down are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include old grout in a dated colour and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as Sprat's Down, 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.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Sprat's Down, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Advice
Regrouting in Sprat's Down: local notes
Sprat's Down is within about 1 mile 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Sprat's Down. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Hamble station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you live in an older home near St George, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Managing a site like Fawley Infant School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Sprat's Down
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Sprat's Down, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Common questions in Sprat's Down
Do you work for landlords with property near Hamble station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Sprat's Down?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
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.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
