Common questions in Stone Cross
Will you come out to Stone Cross?
Yes. Stone Cross is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Stone Cross?
Yes, Stone Cross is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
When can I use the shower again?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
About our regrouting in Stone Cross
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and splashback grout that has darkened.
In and around Stone Cross, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stone Cross as everywhere else we work.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. 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.
What regrouting looks like in Stone Cross
Stone Cross is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Pevensey & Westham station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Stone Cross School? Then 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.
Stone Cross is about 2 miles north of Eastbourne, in East Sussex.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number and length of the joints
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In an older home around Stone Cross, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. For a job in Stone Cross, 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.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

What else we do in Stone Cross
What sealant work can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
What we’re called out for in Stone Cross
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as St Luke's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

- Who turns up on the day
