When to call us in Claygate Cross
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
For an older house near a landmark such as The Church of the Good Shepherd, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

About our regrouting in Claygate Cross
Across Claygate Cross, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and good tiles let down by tired grout, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Claygate Cross, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Claygate Cross and everywhere else we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Regrouting in Claygate Cross: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Borough Green & Wrotham station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Borough Green Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Advice
Common questions in Claygate Cross
Will you come out to Claygate Cross?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Around Claygate Cross, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
