Regrouting for homes and businesses in Down Street
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Down Street, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Down Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Down Street for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Down Street is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Down Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Down Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common problems we fix in Down Street
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.

- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Splashback grout that has darkened

What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What product goes in the joint
Why act early in Down Street
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Down Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why us?
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- One-year guarantee on every job
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A leaking wet room membrane
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Regrouting in Down Street: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew and St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Uckfield station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
