Regrouting in South Malling
Problem with your tiled areas in South Malling? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Signs you need regrouting in South Malling
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Regrouting in South Malling, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
In a smaller place like South Malling, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for regrouting
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For regrouting in South Malling, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Check the corner silicone every few months
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Regrouting around South Malling
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. South Malling has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For landlords with property near Lewes station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like South Malling CofE Primary and Nursery School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

South Malling: your questions answered
Is South Malling within the area you cover?
Yes, South Malling is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Lewes station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower normally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our one-year guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
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 both are renewed and include it in your quote.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a smaller place like South Malling, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.
