How we handle regrouting in St Helen's
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. Typical jobs include grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and crumbling grout between the tiles, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
Homes around St Helen's range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in St Helen's, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Bathrooms and kitchens in St Helen's
St Helen's is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter & St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Ore station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
St Helen's is about 1 mile north-east of Hastings, in East Sussex.

What’s near St Helen's
Around St Helen's, our work takes us to homes and buildings near William Parker Sports College, University School and The Duke pub. The closest station to St Helen's is Ore station, about 0.8 miles south-east of the centre.

Why act early in St Helen's
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around St Helen's, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

Your questions about regrouting in St Helen's
Do you cover smaller places like St Helen's?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Ore station. Can you help?

What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Do you need regrouting in St Helen's?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ark Blacklands Primary Academy, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
