East Dean homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. East Dean has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Homes close to The Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Around East Dean, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.
East Dean is about 6 miles north-east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in East Dean can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee. East Dean is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover. Our Portsmouth page covers work nearby, about 17 miles away.

Regrouting in East Dean, done properly
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, then reseal the corners and edges. We’re often asked to deal with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and cracked grout along the bath or tray, across tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around East Dean are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like East Dean needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Why act early in East Dean
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like East Dean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
