Regrouting in Hickstead
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
In a village or hamlet like Hickstead, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Hickstead, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Your questions about regrouting in Hickstead
Is Hickstead within the area you cover?
Yes, Hickstead is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do regrouting in Hickstead?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hickstead is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we will say so before going ahead.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. You can change the colour at the same time.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

What else we do in Hickstead
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Hickstead, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane

Signs you need regrouting in Hickstead
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Old grout in a dated colour
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
