About our regrouting in Finglesham
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are old grout in a dated colour and corners filled with grout instead of silicone.
In a village or hamlet like Finglesham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Finglesham and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.

Common problems we fix in Finglesham
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has generally got into the grout.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you look after a building such as Northbourne Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Finglesham
Finglesham is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. In the older streets around Church of St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Finglesham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Your questions about regrouting in Finglesham
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Finglesham?
Yes, Finglesham is covered. We work across 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 I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Why it’s worth doing now in Finglesham
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Older cottages and farmhouses around Finglesham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Finglesham clients choose us
- Fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We leave the area clean and tidy
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
