Regrouting in Crockleford Heath
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has normally soaked into the grout. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Typical jobs include floor grout that has worn and darkened and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on shower walls, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Around Crockleford Heath, it’s 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
What we’re called out for in Crockleford Heath
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Letting a property close to Hythe station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What happens if it’s left?
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crockleford Heath can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
