Regrouting in Broad Tenterden

Being in a small place like Broad Tenterden makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
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.
Broad Tenterden: your questions answered
Do you take on hotel work around Broad Tenterden?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Is Broad Tenterden 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.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
Why act early in Broad Tenterden
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Broad Tenterden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Broad Tenterden, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Regrouting around Broad Tenterden
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Broad Tenterden. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Tenterden Church of England Junior 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. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mildred, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
