Regrouting in Acol
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Acol are handled the same careful way. If you have floor grout that won’t come clean and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right, on bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
Around Acol, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Regrouting in Acol: local notes
Acol is within about 2 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Birchington Church of England 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. Letting a property close to Birchington-On-Sea station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to St Mildreds Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. Several sites can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Acol, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
What affects the cost of regrouting
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Why act early in Acol
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Acol, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Common questions in Acol
Do you work for landlords with property near Birchington-On-Sea station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Acol within the area you cover?
Yes. Acol is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
