Regrouting in West Hill, Brighton and Hove
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in West Hill and across Brighton and Hove. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting in West Hill
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in a colour the owner wants to change and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
Smaller places like West Hill still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Brighton and Hove.

West Hill: your questions answered
I let a flat near Brighton station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is West Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. West Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
How long does regrouting take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. A visit to West Hill is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Regrouting in West Hill: local notes
West Hill is within about 1 mile of 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 West Hill. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Brighton station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Galeed Strict Baptist Chapel include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as St Paul's CofE Primary School and Nursery, 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A leaking shower valve or waste
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
