Bathrooms and kitchens in Upper Dicker
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bede's Prep School, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Do you need regrouting in Upper Dicker?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Upper Dicker questions
Do you cover Upper Dicker for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Upper Dicker is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Upper Dicker?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so everything is renewed at once.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Dicker
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Upper Dicker, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
