Regrouting in Cop Street
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Being in a small place like Cop Street makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Cop Street as everywhere else we work.

Cop Street questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Cop Street?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will point them out at the start.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
How long does regrouting take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Cop Street needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We point that out first so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Cop Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Kitchen splashbacks
Signs you need regrouting in Cop Street
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, until the joints are rough and low.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
For landlords with property near Sandwich station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for regrouting
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Roughly how big the job is
- Whether it has been sealed before
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 photos by email if you can.
Other services in Cop Street
What regrouting looks like in Cop Street
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England 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. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
