How we handle regrouting in Chatham
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, across shower walls, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
A place the size of Chatham has homes of every age, from older terraces to town-centre flats and newer developments. Bathrooms and kitchens in all of them need their sealant and grout renewing sooner or later.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Chatham and everywhere else we cover.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms

FAQs for Chatham
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Chatham?
All our work, in Chatham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Chatham in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Chatham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will show you which ones at the start.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?

Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
What regrouting looks like in Chatham
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Wayfield Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Christ the King include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In central Chatham, parking can be tight, so tell us about driveways, permits or nearby car parks. For flats, mention stairs, lifts and shared entrances as well.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Why act early in Chatham
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In flats, shops and offices in Chatham, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Chatham
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Look out for any of the following:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Old grout in a dated colour
Letting a property close to Chatham station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Chatham and across Medway. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
