Regrouting in Thorncross, done properly
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout in corners that has cracked, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors.
Being in a small place like Thorncross makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
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.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: 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. Somewhere as small as Thorncross, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out 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.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Thorncross
Thorncross 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, 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. Mary's Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Have loose tiles looked at early
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

What else we do in Thorncross
What we’re called out for in Thorncross
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout washed out of a shower
Schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What preparation is included
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Why deal with it now?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around Thorncross can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
