Pains-Hill Regrouting
Problem with your tiled areas in Pains-Hill? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
How we handle regrouting in Pains-Hill
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you are dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Pains-Hill, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Pains-Hill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hurst Green station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Pains-Hill in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Pains-Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the 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 information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we are fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
What regrouting looks like in Pains-Hill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Hurst Green station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Limpsfield CofE Infant School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Pains-Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Pains-Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
