Regrouting in Cobham, Kent

Regrouting across Cobham and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.

  • Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Splashback grout that has darkened

Regrouting for Cobham homes and businesses

What the job involves on each surface

Bathroom wall tiles

Tiles away from the shower stay drier but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.

Kitchen splashbacks

The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.

Regrouting in Cobham, done properly

Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We are often asked to deal with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout that makes sound tiles look old, across bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.

Being in a small place like Cobham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What sealant work cannot fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

  • Loose tiles, which need refixing first
  • Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
  • Movement in a stud wall or floor

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Cobham homes and their sealant

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

For landlords with property near Sole Street station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

How to look after the new joints

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Use gentle cleaners on grout
  • Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
  • Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
  • Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout

If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.

Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.

What affects the cost of regrouting

There’s no set price list. What we look at:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • The type of sealant required
  • The number and length of the joints

We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What we need to know

Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • Where the property is
  • Photos by email, if that is easy
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Cobham

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Grout in corners that has cracked
  • Splashback grout that has darkened
  • Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
  • Grout washed out of a shower

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cobham Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Cobham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

Why act early in Cobham

Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Cobham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
