How regrouting works in Kent

When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Common call-outs are for gaps where the shower grout has gone and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.

Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area.

  1. First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
  2. The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
  3. Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
  4. We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
  5. Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

What affects the price in Kent

Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Around Maidstone

We work in homes and buildings around Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are River Len LNR (within half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (less than half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). The closest station to Maidstone is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west. Other landmarks nearby include Maidstone Carriage Museum (less than half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). For a walk, there’s Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

Where we work in Kent

Across Kent, from Maidstone, Ashford and Canterbury outwards, we see bathrooms and kitchens of every age. Sealant and grout wear out in all of them, whether it’s a family bathroom, a rented flat or a hotel en suite.

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Kent is planned around the weather. Along the coast in Kent, window and wall joints facing the sea take the brunt of the weather, and that is where sealant normally gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Maidstone: Homes close to St Philip's Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Rented homes near Maidstone West station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Different surfaces, different methods

Bathroom wall tiles

Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.

Corners and edges

Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.

Signs you need regrouting

Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Good tiles let down by tired grout
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Gaps where the shower grout has gone

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.

How we quote for regrouting

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • The amount of work
  • The product the joint needs
  • When we can work, for business premises
  • Mould in or behind the old joints

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Asking for a quote

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the job is, and your postcode

Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

Leave it or put it right?

With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Is VAT in the price?
  • How long the guarantee is

Questions from Kent

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?

We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.

Do the sealants smell?

Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Where do you work from?

Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

What should I tell you?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
