How we handle regrouting in Ore
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
In a smaller place like Ore, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Do you need regrouting in Ore?
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
For landlords with property near Ore station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Common questions in Ore
Will you come out to Ore?
Yes. Ore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Ore?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
What else we do in Ore
Why deal with it now?
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but patched grout rarely matches the rest, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Ore, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
For anyone letting property in or around Ore, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Regrouting around Ore
Ore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Ore has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Schools such as Sandown Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Ore is about 2 miles east of Hastings, in East Sussex. Jobs in Ore get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. Our East Sussex coverage runs to 289 places, and Ore is one of them. There’s also a page for Brighton, roughly 32 miles from Ore.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Ore, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
