How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. Regrouting brings them back in line.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in Cranbrook
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about grout in corners that has cracked and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
Even in a smaller place like Cranbrook, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting in Cranbrook: local notes
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Cranbrook
Will you come out to Cranbrook?
Yes, Cranbrook is covered. 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 do regrouting in Cranbrook?
Yes, Cranbrook is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not 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 job in Cranbrook, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Homes in smaller places like Cranbrook can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
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.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We’re fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What we’re called out for in Cranbrook
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Shower grout that has worn away
If you live in an older home near Congregational Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
