Regrouting across Brighton and Hove: what to expect
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. Typical jobs include grout in a colour the owner wants to change and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Where we work in Brighton and Hove
Brighton and Hove has homes of every age, old and new, and in places like Brighton, Hove and Carlton Hill there’s plenty of rented property too. Regrouting keeps bathrooms and kitchens watertight and looking cared for.
London and the South East have homes from every era, from period terraces to post-war new towns and new estates. The right sealant depends on the age and materials of the building. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Brighton and Hove can see heavy use in busy months, so their sealant and grout wear faster than most, and the weather is hard on the outside too.
Brighton: For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Fairlight 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. For an older house near a landmark such as St Martin's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Why act early?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple.
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the job turns out different
- When the joint can take water or movement
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Brighton and Hove
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Look out for these signs:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Shower grout that has worn away
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Brighton and Hove questions
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We generally do. Fresh grout next to old, mouldy silicone would look odd and could still leak.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
