Regrouting in Canewdon, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. If you’re dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and splashback grout that has darkened, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Canewdon, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What regrouting looks like in Canewdon
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Schools such as King Edmund School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Questions from Canewdon
Will you come out to Canewdon?
Yes, Canewdon is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Althorne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or just the joints that have failed.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Canewdon, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we’re called out for in Canewdon
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Rented homes near Althorne station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
