What affects the cost of regrouting
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any mould that needs treating
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Althorne
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you’re dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and floor grout that has worn and darkened, we can put it right, on shower walls, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors alike.
Around Althorne, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Althorne as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Althorne
Do you work for landlords with property near Althorne station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Althorne for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Althorne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Althorne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

Althorne homes and their sealant
Althorne is within about 3 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.

Common problems we fix in Althorne
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
The most common problems we see are:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Homes close to Parish Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
Why act early in Althorne
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Althorne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
