- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Whitwell, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How we handle regrouting in Whitwell
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and common reasons people get in touch are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and shower grout that has worn away.
Being in a small place like Whitwell makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Bathroom floors
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What affects the cost of regrouting
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Roughly how big the job is

Whitwell homes and their sealant
Whitwell is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Niton 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. Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

FAQs for Whitwell
I let a flat near Shanklin station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Whitwell?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
