Regrouting for Hollingbury homes and businesses

How the job changes by surface

Wet rooms

Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.

Bathroom floors

New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.

How we handle regrouting in Hollingbury

A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Common call-outs are for grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout washed out of a shower, on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom floors.

Smaller places like Hollingbury still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hollingbury and across Brighton and Hove.

When something else is needed

In fairness, some problems need a different trade:

  • Tiles that are chipped or split
  • A leaking shower valve or waste
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

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

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hollingbury

Hollingbury is close to 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. Hollingbury has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Carden Nursery and Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Moulsecoomb station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Hollingbury is about 2 miles north of Brighton, in Brighton and Hove. Wherever you are in the BN1 postcode area, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Hollingbury is one of 30 places in Brighton and Hove we cover for regrouting.

What happens if it’s left?

Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Hollingbury, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

How we quote for regrouting

We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The type of sealant required
  • Whether the work is at height

The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

For landlords and businesses

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.

What we do, step by step

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking around Hollingbury is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
  2. Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
  3. The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
  4. Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
  • Clear items away from the joints we are working on
  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice

How to look after the new joints

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
  • Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout

Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Your questions about regrouting in Hollingbury

I let a flat near Moulsecoomb station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.

Do you work in hotels near Hollingbury?

Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.

Do I need to be at home?

Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

What do you put in the joint?

Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.

Do you reseal at the same time?

Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
