Regrouting in Blean
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Typical jobs include grout washed out of a shower and good tiles let down by tired grout, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
Somewhere as small as Blean, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Your questions about regrouting in Blean
Will you come out to Blean?
Yes, Blean is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
We usually do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. In a small place like Blean, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Regrouting in Blean: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Blean Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

When to call us in Blean
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that will not come clean
If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What affects the quote in Blean
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are 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.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Blean, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

- A leaking wet room membrane
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Damaged tiles that need replacing

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
