Common problems we fix in Chilham
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
If you let a flat or house near Chilham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Chilham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Chilham, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit

What regrouting looks like in Chilham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Chilham is about 5 miles south-west of Canterbury, in Kent. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Chilham can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Chilham is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our Chelmsford page covers work nearby.
We cover every part of the CT4 postcode area for regrouting. If you need regrouting at a property on The Street, The Square and Bagham Road or a nearby road, our applicators can take on the job.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
