Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
About our regrouting in Norton
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
For a small place like Norton, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What regrouting looks like in Norton
Norton is within about 2 miles 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. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Bishopstone (Sussex) station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as UTC@Harbourside, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Norton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

FAQs for Norton
Do you cover Norton for regrouting?
Yes, Norton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bishopstone (Sussex) station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a small place like Norton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
