Regrouting in Slaugham
Problem with your tiled areas in Slaugham? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. In a small place like Slaugham, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Regrouting in Slaugham
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting will not fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or crumbling grout lines and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Around Slaugham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need regrouting in Slaugham
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you look after a building such as Warninglid Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Slaugham questions
Is Slaugham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Balcombe station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you reseal at the same time?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does regrouting cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Why act early in Slaugham
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Slaugham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Slaugham homes and their sealant
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.
If you let a flat or house near Balcombe station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
