How we handle regrouting in Lower Horncroft
Across Lower Horncroft, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We’re often asked to deal with discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and crumbling grout between the tiles, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and wet rooms.
Homes around Lower Horncroft 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.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For regrouting in Lower Horncroft, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need regrouting in Lower Horncroft?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
Rented homes near Pulborough station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Before you book anyone
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Lower Horncroft, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Regrouting around Lower Horncroft
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Fittleworth CofE Village School, 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. In the older streets around Church of St Agatha, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
