Regrouting in Hankham

About our regrouting in Hankham

We work across Hankham, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you’re dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can help.

Somewhere as small as Hankham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hankham and across East Sussex.

What sealant work cannot fix

New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor
  • Tiles that are chipped or split

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Regrouting around Hankham

Hankham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

Letting a property close to Pevensey & Westham station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you live in an older home near St Luke's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Hankham is about 3 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex.

Keeping the joints in good condition

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
  • Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering

Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.

If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

Signs you need regrouting in Hankham

A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old
  • Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
  • Old grout in a dated colour

Managing a site like Hankham Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

FAQs for Hankham

Can you do regrouting in Hankham?

Yes, Hankham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.

Is Hankham within the area you cover?

Yes. Hankham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.

Can tenants book the work?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

How long does the job take?

As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.

Does someone need to be in?

For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.

Should corners be grouted or sealed?

We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Different surfaces, different methods

Shower walls

Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.

Wet rooms

Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.

What affects the quote in Hankham

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access and height
  • The product the joint needs
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Any mould that needs treating

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:

  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • How we’d reach the joints
  • The address or postcode of the job

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Hankham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.

Before we arrive

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
