How we handle regrouting in Tinkers Cross
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout along the bath or tray and splashback grout that has darkened.
Homes around Tinkers Cross are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Tinkers Cross, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tinkers Cross
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Tinkers Cross can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
When to call us in Tinkers Cross
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Managing a site like Fordingbridge Junior School? Then 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.

What affects the quote in Tinkers Cross
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Regrouting in Tinkers Cross: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
