Regrouting for homes and businesses in Boyden Gate
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are grout that’s cracking and breaking up and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Somewhere as small as Boyden Gate, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Boyden Gate needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
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.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.

Boyden Gate questions
Is Boyden Gate within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We’ll give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What we’re called out for in Boyden Gate
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Shower grout that has worn away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chislet Church of England Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the cure time is
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Regrouting in Boyden Gate: local notes
Boyden Gate is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Herne Bay station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
