Your questions about regrouting in Ardingly
Do you cover smaller places like Ardingly?
Yes. Ardingly is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Balcombe station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has generally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
How we handle regrouting in Ardingly
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 there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and splashback grout that has darkened.
In a village or hamlet like Ardingly, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
When to call us in Ardingly
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Landlord and commercial work in Ardingly
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

Regrouting around Ardingly
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.
If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ardingly
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardingly, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Ardingly needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
