Why it’s worth doing now in Chestfield
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Chestfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, 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.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Chestfield
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about cracked grout along the bath or tray and floor grout that won’t come clean.
Somewhere as small as Chestfield, 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.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

- Shower grout that has worn away
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up

Chestfield homes and their sealant
Chestfield is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Swalecliffe Community Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
