About our regrouting in Thorpe Green
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you’re dealing with cracked grout along the bath or tray and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Thorpe Green, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Thorpe Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Regrouting around Thorpe Green
Thorpe Green is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Michael, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Rented homes near Thorpe-Le-Soken station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Questions from Thorpe Green
Is Thorpe Green within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thorpe-Le-Soken station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Thorpe Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Thorpe Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
