Regrouting in Southwater, West Sussex
We cover Southwater for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Regrouting in Southwater, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
In and around Southwater, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Keep the fan on after showering
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Southwater, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. A visit to Southwater is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out at the start.

Regrouting around Southwater
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Southwater Infant Academy are buildings too, and 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. Homes close to Holy Innocents Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Christs Hospital station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What else we do in Southwater
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
