Bicknor Regrouting
Tiled areas in Bicknor need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and go gently on the grout at first.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
How we handle regrouting in Bicknor
Before we start, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. Typical jobs include cracked or crumbling grout lines and splashback grout that has darkened, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.
For a small place like Bicknor, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bicknor and across Kent.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Bicknor, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Why it’s worth doing now in Bicknor
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Bicknor, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What we’re called out for in Bicknor
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout washed out of a shower
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Your questions about regrouting in Bicknor
Do you cover Bicknor for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bicknor is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Bicknor within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
What affects the quote in Bicknor
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
