When to call us in Darenth
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Rented homes near Farningham Road station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How we handle regrouting in Darenth
Before any work starts, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have grout that makes sound tiles look old and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, we can put it right, on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Darenth, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about regrouting in Darenth
Do you cover Darenth for regrouting?
Yes, Darenth is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Farningham Road station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We’ll look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job, and we’re fully insured.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout can’t take that movement.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Around Darenth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Regrouting in Darenth: 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret of Antioch, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Greenlands Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
