Regrouting in Tide Mills
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Homes around Tide Mills are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Tide Mills and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tide Mills
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Tide Mills, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Tide Mills needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

What else we do in Tide Mills
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Tide Mills
Tide Mills is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Tide Mills. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like UTC@Harbourside? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bishopstone (Sussex) station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Tide Mills
Will you come out to Tide Mills?
Yes, Tide Mills is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Tide Mills?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Tide Mills and the rest of East Sussex.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will check the other tiled areas as well and let you know if more needs doing.
