Common questions in Cold Harbour
Is Cold Harbour in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Cold Harbour is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Charing station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Regrouting in Cold Harbour
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the discolouration has usually soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and common reasons people get in touch are old grout in a dated colour and shower grout that has worn away.
In a village or hamlet like Cold Harbour, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Cold Harbour and across Kent.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Cold Harbour, 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
Ask for a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cold Harbour, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

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

- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout

What regrouting looks like in Cold Harbour
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.

When to call us in Cold Harbour
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
