Regrouting for homes and businesses in Cliffe
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout washed out of a shower.
In a smaller place like Cliffe, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When to call us in Cliffe
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Priory School, 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cliffe
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In an older home around Cliffe, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Cliffe clients choose us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What regrouting looks like in Cliffe
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Cliffe. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas at Cliffe, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you let a flat or house near Lewes station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Cliffe is about 1 mile east of Lewes, in East Sussex. For regrouting in and around Cliffe, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for a quick quote.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from Cliffe
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Cliffe?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lewes station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. Parking around Cliffe is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
