Regrouting in Ashford, Kent
Our applicators work in Ashford on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Regrouting in Ashford
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We’re often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and grout washed out of a shower, across tiled floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Ashford has offices, shops and other businesses as well as homes, and their washrooms and staff kitchens need the same attention as any home. Homes and businesses get the same careful preparation before anything new goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.
When to call us in Ashford
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Regrouting around Ashford
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Ashford. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Managing a site like Chilmington Green Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Christ Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashford
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Busy buildings in Ashford, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so failing joints are best replaced on a planned basis.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In Ashford, we work in everything from flats and family homes to offices and hotels. For each, it helps to know about access, parking and where the joints are.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

Common questions in Ashford
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you work in hotels near Ashford?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We’ll show you which ones at the start.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
