Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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.
Regrouting in Burwash
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and old grout in a dated colour, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors.
Homes around Burwash are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Burwash and everywhere else we cover.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a small place like Burwash, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access

For landlords with property near Stonegate station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Burwash CofE School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Common questions in Burwash
Can you do regrouting in Burwash?
Yes, Burwash is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Burwash?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Signs you need regrouting in Burwash
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How long to leave it before use
- How much experience the applicator has
Why act early in Burwash
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Burwash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
