Regrouting in Chartham Hatch, done properly
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that won’t come clean and good tiles let down by tired grout.
In a village or hamlet like Chartham Hatch, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What affects the cost of regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.

What else we do in Chartham Hatch
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Chartham Hatch, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
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.
How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors
- Wet rooms
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chartham Hatch can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting in Chartham Hatch: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Chartham station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Canterbury Academy, 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. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Questions from Chartham Hatch
Do you cover smaller places like Chartham Hatch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do regrouting in Chartham Hatch?
Yes, Chartham Hatch is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
