How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Regrouting in Cotman's Ash
Across Cotman's Ash, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are a grout colour that no longer suits the room and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift.
For a small place like Cotman's Ash, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Cotman's Ash homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Kemsing station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of Saint Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Schools such as Kemsing Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What else we do in Cotman's Ash
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.

Why act early in Cotman's Ash
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cotman's Ash, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
