How we handle regrouting in Blackstone
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are cracked grout along the bath or tray and old grout in a dated colour.
In a village or hamlet like Blackstone, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Common problems we fix in Blackstone
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Hassocks station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Your questions about regrouting in Blackstone
I let a flat near Hassocks station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Blackstone within the area you cover?
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.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Blackstone, along with the rest of our area.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Blackstone
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 live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What affects the quote in Blackstone
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Blackstone, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why it’s worth doing now in Blackstone
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In a small place like Blackstone, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
