- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Chailey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Regrouting in Chailey
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Chailey, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows

When to call us in Chailey
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Rented homes near Plumpton station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Are they insured?
- How the colour is chosen
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Why act early in Chailey
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Chailey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Regrouting in Chailey: 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.
Managing a site like Chailey St Peter's Church of England Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
