When to call us in Aldington
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The most common problems we see are:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout washed out of a shower
If you look after a building such as Aldington Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Regrouting in Aldington, done properly
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles.
In a village or hamlet like Aldington, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting in Aldington: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Letting a property close to Ham Street station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere as small as Aldington, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Aldington: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Aldington?
Yes. Aldington 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.
I let a flat near Ham Street station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We will tell you exactly how long when the job is done.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the quote in Aldington
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before we start.

Why it’s worth doing now in Aldington
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
