About our regrouting in Alciston
We work across Alciston, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Homes around Alciston are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What regrouting looks like in Alciston
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Alciston is about 4 miles north of Seaford, in East Sussex. Alciston gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, and Alciston is one of them. Brighton is on our list too, around 12 miles away.

Questions from Alciston
Is Alciston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Alciston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal

For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Alciston and across East Sussex. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Alciston, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
