Regrouting in Clapper Hill
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about floor grout that has worn and darkened and shower grout that has worn away.
Somewhere as small as Clapper Hill, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clapper Hill and across Kent.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Signs you need regrouting in Clapper Hill
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
If you let a flat or house near Headcorn station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Clapper Hill
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Clapper Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Clapper Hill questions
I let a flat near Headcorn station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Clapper Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Clapper Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
