- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Common problems we fix in Highbrook
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you look after a building such as St Peter's CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
Regrouting in Highbrook
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Homes around Highbrook are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

What affects the quote in Highbrook
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Highbrook
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around All Saints Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Balcombe station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
