- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
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.
How we handle regrouting in Holywell
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a 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, then reseal the corners and edges. If you’re dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can put it right.
Around Holywell, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a smaller place like Holywell, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Questions from Holywell
Is Holywell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eastbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Around Holywell, 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.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What regrouting looks like in Holywell
Holywell is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Holywell has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as St John's Meads Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Eastbourne station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need regrouting in Holywell
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
In the older streets around St John the Evangelist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
