Quotes for regrouting in Thakeham
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
How we handle regrouting in Thakeham
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. If you have corners filled with grout instead of silicone and old grout in a dated colour, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Thakeham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Thakeham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Thakeham homes and their sealant
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.
Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Signs you need regrouting in Thakeham
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you look after a building such as Rydon Community College, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
