Regrouting in The Frenches, Hampshire
Our applicators work in The Frenches on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Frenches, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we handle regrouting in The Frenches
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you are dealing with shower grout that has worn away and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can help, on tiled floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like The Frenches, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job.
What we are called out for in The Frenches
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Rented homes near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

The Frenches homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
