Regrouting in The Stocks
Problem with your tiled areas in The Stocks? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Regrouting in The Stocks
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and old grout in a dated colour.
Homes around The Stocks are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Do you need regrouting in The Stocks?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Managing a site like Wittersham Church of England Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
The Stocks homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Parish Church of St John the Baptist, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Rye station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like The Stocks, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
