Regrouting in Flete
We work across Flete, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. We are often asked to deal with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and cracked grout along the bath or tray, on bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Flete 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: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

Quotes for regrouting in Flete
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Any mould that needs treating
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Flete questions
Is Flete within the area you cover?
Yes, Flete is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Margate station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower normally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
Regrouting around Flete
Flete is within about 2 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.
Letting a property close to Margate station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. In the older streets around St. Catherine's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Gregory's Catholic Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.

What happens if it’s left?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Older cottages and farmhouses around Flete can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Flete, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
