Regrouting in Crabtree
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you have grout washed out of a shower and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can help, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Crabtree makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need regrouting in Crabtree
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as Newells Preparatory School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Crabtree questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Horsham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Crabtree?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Is the work guaranteed?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.

What else we do in Crabtree
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Around Crabtree, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Full insurance on every job

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How we quote for regrouting
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check the tiles first.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Crabtree
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.
If you let a flat or house near Horsham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around Old Church House the Glebe, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
