Regrouting in Abbey Gate, done properly
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you are dealing with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Abbey Gate, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Abbey Gate
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
In the older streets around St Paul's Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Abbey Gate: your questions answered
I let a flat near Maidstone East station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Abbey Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
We will tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Grout on its own will not fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Abbey Gate, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Advice
Quotes for regrouting in Abbey Gate
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
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.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
Regrouting in Abbey Gate: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sandling Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Rented homes near Maidstone East station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Can I do it myself?
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.
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.
