Cranbrook Common Regrouting
Regrouting across Cranbrook Common and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
How we handle regrouting in Cranbrook Common
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you have floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help.
Being in a small place like Cranbrook Common makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Cranbrook Common homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Cranbrook 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. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Cranbrook Common questions
Can you do regrouting in Cranbrook Common?
Yes, Cranbrook Common is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Cranbrook Common within the area you cover?
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 seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
How long does regrouting take?
Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
It can. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Cranbrook Common
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Cranbrook Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
