Questions from Highfield
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Highfield?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
I let a flat near St Denys station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
How long should I wait before showering?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions so please stick to it.
How long does regrouting take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Regrouting in Highfield, done properly
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the shower grout has gone and a grout colour that no longer suits the room.
Smaller places like Highfield still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Highfield, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. In a smaller place like Highfield, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Highfield
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles

Regrouting in Highfield: local notes
Highfield is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near St Denys station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Highfield Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
