Dallington Regrouting
Tiled areas in Dallington need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
What we are called out for in Dallington
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Giles, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Regrouting in Dallington, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and shower grout that has worn away.
Being in a small place like Dallington makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dallington as everywhere else we work.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Dallington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- 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
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Regrouting in Dallington: local notes
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.

Questions from Dallington
Is regrouting in Dallington guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do regrouting in Dallington?
Yes, Dallington is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Dallington and the rest of East Sussex.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Dallington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why Dallington clients choose us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
