How we handle regrouting in Lower Willingdon
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with splashback grout that has darkened and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across bathroom wall tiles, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks.
In a smaller place like Lower Willingdon, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Willingdon
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Homes in smaller places like Lower Willingdon can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Regrouting in Lower Willingdon: 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.
Homes close to St Wilfrid include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. A visit to Lower Willingdon is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

FAQs for Lower Willingdon
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Polegate station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you cover Lower Willingdon for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lower Willingdon is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
When to call us in Lower Willingdon
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you look after a building such as Willingdon Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
