How we handle regrouting in Southover
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. Typical jobs include greasy, stained grout behind the hob and gaps where the shower grout has gone, on wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls.
In a smaller place like Southover, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Southover and everywhere else we cover.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Southover, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Advice
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Cracked or broken tiles

Southover questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lewes station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work in hotels near Southover?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
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 can decide what to do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Quotes for regrouting in Southover
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Regrouting around Southover
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Southover. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you let a flat or house near Lewes station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Western Road Community Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
