Regrouting in Founthill, East Sussex
We cover Founthill for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
How we handle regrouting in Founthill
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We are often asked to deal with cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout washed out of a shower, on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms.
Being in a small place like Founthill makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Founthill homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Uckfield station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Newick Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Local landmarks in Founthill

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.

Advice
When to call us in Founthill
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions from Founthill
Do you cover smaller places like Founthill?
Yes. Founthill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Uckfield station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Founthill
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Why act early in Founthill
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Around Founthill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
