Regrouting for homes and businesses in Appledore Heath
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include corners filled with grout instead of silicone and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, across bathroom floors, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Around Appledore Heath, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Appledore Heath and everywhere else we cover.

Regrouting in Appledore Heath: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Appledore Heath needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Why deal with it now?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a small place like Appledore Heath, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
