Regrouting in North Chailey, East Sussex
Regrouting across North Chailey and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in North Chailey
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in corners that has cracked and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Around North Chailey, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

North Chailey questions
Do you cover North Chailey for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Chailey is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
I let a flat near Plumpton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee.
When can I use the shower again?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout normally comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Chailey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

What else we do in North Chailey
Regrouting around North Chailey
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of Our Lady, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as Chailey Heritage School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Plumpton station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
