About our regrouting in Hamsey
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout that makes sound tiles look old.
In a village or hamlet like Hamsey, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need regrouting in Hamsey
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Managing a site like Hamsey Community Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Regrouting in Hamsey: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Cooksbridge station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Common questions in Hamsey
Will you come out to Hamsey?
Yes, Hamsey is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do regrouting in Hamsey?
Yes, Hamsey is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking shower valve or waste
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It normally fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us and describe the job, and pictures are welcome.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Hamsey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions
