Common questions in Little Leighs
Can you do regrouting in Little Leighs?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Leighs 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 price.
Will you come out to Little Leighs?
Yes, Little Leighs is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
About our regrouting in Little Leighs
Across Little Leighs, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, finished with new silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and grout that makes sound tiles look old, across bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Little Leighs are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Regrouting in Little Leighs: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Great Leighs Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What we’re called out for in Little Leighs
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Rented homes near Cressing station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What your quote should include
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
Quotes for regrouting in Little Leighs
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much there is to do
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Why act early in Little Leighs
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. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Little Leighs, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
