Regrouting for homes and businesses in West Ashling
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 grout that’s cracking and breaking up and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help.
Somewhere as small as West Ashling, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in West Ashling
Will you come out to West Ashling?
Yes. West Ashling is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover West Ashling for regrouting?
Yes, West Ashling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around West Ashling, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like West Ashling, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

There’s no standard price list, because every job is different. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Advice
Do you need regrouting in West Ashling?
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Bathrooms and kitchens in West Ashling
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Funtington Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Bosham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
