Problem with your tiled areas in Shawford? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.

Shawford homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Regrouting in Shawford, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you’re dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can put it right, on shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors alike.
Around Shawford, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Shawford
Shawford questions
Can you do regrouting in Shawford?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Shawford is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Shawford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Shawford.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Shawford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work in Shawford
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Signs you need regrouting in Shawford
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Rented homes near Shawford station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shawford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
