Regrouting in Ovingdean, Brighton and Hove
Regrouting across Ovingdean and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout washed out of a shower
Common problems we fix in Ovingdean
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
Managing a site like Ovingdean Hall School? Then 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.

Regrouting in Ovingdean
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and splashback grout that has darkened.
Somewhere as small as Ovingdean, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Ovingdean homes and their sealant
Ovingdean 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. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Wulfran's Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Rented homes near Moulsecoomb station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Questions from Ovingdean
I let a flat near Moulsecoomb station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Ovingdean?
Yes, Ovingdean is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Leave it or put it right?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ovingdean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
What affects the cost of regrouting
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- If someone has resealed it before
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
