Regrouting for homes and businesses in Woodhatch
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
Somewhere as small as Woodhatch, 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 one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It generally fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Woodhatch questions
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Woodhatch?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodhatch?
Yes. Woodhatch 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.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Woodhatch?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
What we’re called out for in Woodhatch
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Around Woodhatch, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Woodhatch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
