Regrouting for homes and businesses in Tilgate
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Tilgate are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include grout that’s cracking and breaking up and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Tilgate range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Tilgate is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Tilgate, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Tilgate homes and their sealant
Crawley, which Tilgate is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, so bathrooms and kitchens may be on their second or third set of sealant. New sealant won’t stick to old, so the old layers have to come out first. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like The Oaks Primary School & Nursery? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around Holy Trinity, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Crawley station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Common questions in Tilgate
Should the sealant in an older Tilgate home be renewed?
In most cases, yes, if it hasn’t been done for a while. Sealant does not last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
Is Tilgate within the area you cover?
Yes, Tilgate is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Tilgate and the rest of West Sussex, along with the rest of our area.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
