About our regrouting in Colt's Hill
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles.
Around Colt's Hill, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Colt's Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
What affects the quote in Colt's Hill
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint

- Any mould that needs treating
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Do you guarantee regrouting?

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

How long should I wait before showering?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you need regrouting in Colt's Hill?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For landlords with property near Paddock Wood station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Why act early in Colt's Hill
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. 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 Colt's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Regrouting in Colt's Hill: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Five Oak Green Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Capel Primary School are buildings too, and 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.
