What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Houghton Green
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and people most often call us about dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Somewhere as small as Houghton Green, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Houghton Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

When to call us in Houghton Green
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you let a flat or house near Rye station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Are they insured?

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What regrouting looks like in Houghton Green
Houghton Green is within about 3 miles 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Houghton Green. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like St Michael's Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Michael include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Common questions in Houghton Green
I let a flat near Rye station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Houghton Green?
Yes. Houghton Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
