About our regrouting in Polegate
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Even in a smaller place like Polegate, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Parking around Polegate is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Regrouting in Polegate: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Polegate Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to Horse & Groom pub and Willingdon Community School and the streets around them. Polegate has its own railway station: Polegate station.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Why it’s worth doing now in Polegate
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Homes in smaller places like Polegate can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When to call us in Polegate
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before work begins.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Shower grout that has worn away
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church of England Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included

Common questions in Polegate
Do you cover smaller places like Polegate?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

What do you need from me for a quote?

Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
