Regrouting around Childrey
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.
Managing a site like The Ridgeway Church of England (C) 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.

Regrouting in Childrey
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for grout in corners that has cracked and crumbling grout between the tiles, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Childrey are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

What happens if it’s left?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Older cottages and farmhouses around Childrey can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Childrey can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Your questions about regrouting in Childrey
Do you cover smaller places like Childrey?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Childrey in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Childrey is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and it’s all in the quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What we’re called out for in Childrey
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Childrey, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
