Regrouting for homes and businesses in Lower Dicker
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 call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you are dealing with splashback grout that has darkened and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
For a small place like Lower Dicker, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlord and commercial work in Lower Dicker
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. Several properties can be quoted together.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Lower Dicker, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When to call us in Lower Dicker
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Homes close to Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Dicker can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Over 20 years’ experience
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
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.
Lower Dicker: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Berwick (Sussex) station?
