How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting in West Dean
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and shower grout that has worn away, across shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors.
For a small place like West Dean, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Dean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Questions from West Dean
Will you come out to West Dean?
Yes. West Dean is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover West Dean for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Dean is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in West Dean
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Bathrooms and kitchens in West Dean
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Fishbourne station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Andrew, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Signs you need regrouting in West Dean
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Managing a site like West Dean CofE Primary School? Then 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.
