Butcher's Cross Regrouting
Our applicators work in Butcher's Cross on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
What we are called out for in Butcher's Cross
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Rented homes near Crowborough station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common call-outs are for grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, across wet rooms, shower walls and tiled floors.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 around Butcher's Cross
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Skippers Hill Manor School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Grout that is 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.
What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Butcher's Cross needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
