Regrouting in Cross in Hand
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We’re often asked to deal with cracked grout along the bath or tray and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Homes around Cross in Hand are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Cross in Hand homes and their sealant
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.
Schools such as Cross-in-Hand Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Bartholomew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Related advice
Signs you need regrouting in Cross in Hand
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
If you let a flat or house near Buxted station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What product goes in the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- Are they insured?
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Can you do regrouting in Cross in Hand?

Are you fully insured?

What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
