Why act early in Capel
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Capel can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

How we handle regrouting in Capel
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We are often asked to deal with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Capel, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Capel, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Regrouting in Capel: local notes
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Scott Broadwood CofE Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
When to call us in Capel
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Rented homes near Ockley station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What affects the quote in Capel
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
If you are in Capel and need regrouting, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
