About our regrouting in Laughton
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Being in a small place like Laughton makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Laughton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What regrouting looks like in Laughton
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Glynde station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Managing a site like Laughton Community Primary School? Then washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Signs you need regrouting in Laughton
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
In the older streets around The Parish Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom floors
Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Laughton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Your questions about regrouting in Laughton
Do you cover Laughton for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Laughton is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Laughton?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
What sealant work cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
