Regrouting for homes and businesses in Southwick
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you are dealing with old grout in a dated colour and splashback grout that has darkened, we can help, on tiled floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks alike.
In a smaller place like Southwick, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Southwick
Is Southwick in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Southwick is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Southwick?
Yes. Southwick is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
How much does regrouting cost in Southwick?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How long does regrouting take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Southwick, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Ask for a quote
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Advice
When to call us in Southwick
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Schools such as Eastbrook Primary Academy are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- The length of the guarantee
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In an older home around Southwick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- 180+ five-star Google reviews

Regrouting around Southwick
Southwick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 St Michael and All Angels Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Southwick station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
