Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are grout that makes sound tiles look old and floor grout that won’t come clean.

Being in a small place like Rottingdean makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Give the walls a quick rinse after use
  • Skip wire brushes and scourers
  • Get any tile that moves checked promptly
  • Open a window or run the fan to clear steam

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.

Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Common problems we fix in Rottingdean

Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
  • Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
  • Grout that makes sound tiles look old

Rented homes near Moulsecoomb station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What your quote should include

  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • The length of the guarantee
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How the colour is chosen

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about regrouting in Rottingdean

Is Rottingdean within the area you cover?

Yes. Rottingdean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can you do regrouting in Rottingdean?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rottingdean is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Do you guarantee regrouting?

There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?

Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?

We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.

How long does the job take?

A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Rottingdean.

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Cracked or broken tiles
  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • Tiles that have come away from the wall

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we seal

  • Wet rooms

How we quote for regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • The type of sealant required
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The old material and how stubborn it is

A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Where the property is

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

How the job changes by surface

Shower walls

Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.

Kitchen splashbacks

A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.

Regrouting in Rottingdean: local notes

Rottingdean is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

Managing a site like Longhill High School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Wulfran's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works

There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. In a small place like Rottingdean, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
  2. We remove the old grout carefully.
  3. The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
  4. We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
  5. Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Clear the area around the work
