Caring Regrouting
Professional regrouting in and around Caring, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
Common problems we fix in Caring
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
Homes close to St Nicholas's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Regrouting in Caring
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you’re dealing with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help, on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Caring, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Caring, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

Regrouting in Caring: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Leeds and Broomfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Bearsted station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Caring, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property
