How we handle regrouting in Capstone
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are cracked or crumbling grout lines and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Around Capstone, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Capstone, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Regrouting in Capstone: local notes
Capstone 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, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Gillingham (Kent) station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around All Saints Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Capstone is about 1 mile south-west of Gillingham, in Medway.

FAQs for Capstone
Can you do regrouting in Capstone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Capstone is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Capstone?
Yes, Capstone is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What does regrouting cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Do you need regrouting in Capstone?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Schools such as Hempstead Infant School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

What else we do in Capstone
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Landlord and commercial work in Capstone
If you manage several properties in or around Capstone, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
