About our regrouting in Swaythling
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
Homes around Swaythling range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Swaythling, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Swaythling can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need regrouting in Swaythling?
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mansbridge Primary School, 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.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Swaythling, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Swaythling homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Swaythling. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Swaythling station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near St. Mary's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
