Regrouting in Meads, East Sussex
Our applicators work in Meads on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
How we handle regrouting in Meads
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about cracked or crumbling grout lines and old grout in a dated colour.
Around Meads, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in Meads
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Homes in smaller places like Meads 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.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Meads, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What regrouting looks like in Meads
Meads is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Meads has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Eastbourne station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

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. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
