Regrouting in Fulking, West Sussex
Problem with your tiled areas in Fulking? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

Regrouting in Fulking, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We are often asked to deal with crumbling grout between the tiles and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and shower walls.
Around Fulking, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Fulking and across West Sussex.

Fulking questions
Will you come out to Fulking?
Yes. Fulking is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Portslade station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
What affects the quote in Fulking
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
What regrouting looks like in Fulking

Advice
When to call us in Fulking
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
If you live in an older home near The Church of the Holy Trinity, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
