About our regrouting in Westdene
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and splashback grout that has darkened.
Around Westdene, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What else we do in Westdene
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check the tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Leave it or put it right?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Around Westdene, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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 for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a job in Westdene, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

What affects the cost of regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode

Regrouting in Westdene: local notes
Westdene is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Westdene has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Preston Park station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of the Ascension include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Westdene Primary 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
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Your questions about regrouting in Westdene
Do you work in hotels near Westdene?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Work can be planned room by room, and out-of-hours working can be arranged.
I let a flat near Preston Park station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
