Regrouting for homes and businesses in Chitty
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms, and people most often call us about old grout in a dated colour and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
In a village or hamlet like Chitty, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chitty
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Common problems we fix in Chitty
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Schools such as Chislet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Chitty
Chitty is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For landlords with property near Herne Bay station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Chitty is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Chitty or further out, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Chitty is one of them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, roughly 41 miles from Chitty.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Questions from Chitty
Is Chitty within the area you cover?
Yes, Chitty is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
How much does regrouting cost in Chitty?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
