Regrouting in Westgate-on-Sea
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for cracked or crumbling grout lines and floor grout that won’t come clean, across kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
In a smaller place like Westgate-on-Sea, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Letting a property close to Westgate-On-Sea station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Church of St Saviour, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Westgate-on-Sea
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westgate-On-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
When to call us in Westgate-on-Sea
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
If you look after a building such as St Saviour's Church of England Junior 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.
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
