About our regrouting in St Lawrence
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are corners filled with grout instead of silicone and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Homes around St Lawrence are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around St Lawrence can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.

What else we do in St Lawrence
Regrouting in St Lawrence: local notes
St Lawrence is close to 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Shanklin station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
St Lawrence is about 4 miles south-west of Shanklin, in the Isle of Wight. We carry out regrouting for homeowners, landlords and businesses in St Lawrence and nearby.
