Regrouting in Buxted, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout in corners that has cracked, we can put it right.
Homes around Buxted 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Buxted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Buxted, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Regrouting around Buxted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Buxted station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
