Regrouting in Crockenhill, Kent
We cover Crockenhill for raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it cures fully. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting in Crockenhill
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. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you are dealing with grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and shower grout that has worn away, we can help, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Homes around Crockenhill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Crockenhill and across Kent.

Common problems we fix in Crockenhill
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Crockenhill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit

What regrouting looks like in Crockenhill
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Crockenhill 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. If you live in an older home near Church of All Souls, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
