How we handle regrouting in Bapchild
Grout fills the gaps between 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. If you are dealing with grout washed out of a shower and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can help, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors alike.
Being in a small place like Bapchild makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bapchild and everywhere else we cover.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What regrouting looks like in Bapchild
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.
If you look after a building such as Rodmersham School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Bapchild, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. In a small place like Bapchild, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.

Bapchild questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Bapchild within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

What else we do in Bapchild
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Do you need regrouting in Bapchild?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Look out for these signs:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
