For landlords and businesses

We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Westridge and across the Isle of Wight. Several sites can be quoted together.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Westridge
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with corners filled with grout instead of silicone and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Somewhere as small as Westridge, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Westridge as everywhere else we work.

Do you need regrouting in Westridge?
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you live in an older home near St John's Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they’re fully insured

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Westridge, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What affects the quote in Westridge
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Westridge questions
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Westridge?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Smallbrook Junction station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and wouldn’t keep water out.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Westridge homes and their sealant
Westridge is close to 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. Westridge has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Smallbrook Junction station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Oakfield Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
