Regrouting in Folkestone
Across Folkestone, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms 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 greasy, stained grout behind the hob and floor grout that has worn and darkened, across bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Plenty of homes in a town like Folkestone have had new bathrooms and kitchens over the years, some more than once. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Your questions about regrouting in Folkestone
Do you take on hotel work around Folkestone?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you work for landlords with property near Folkestone Central station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How much does regrouting cost in Folkestone?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
When it is not the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- A leaking shower valve or waste
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Folkestone
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In Folkestone, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We rake it out and regrout, and reseal the corners.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that is 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.
What affects the quote in Folkestone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Folkestone, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Bathrooms and kitchens in Folkestone
Folkestone is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Letting a property close to Folkestone Central station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to United Reformed Church include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stella Maris Catholic 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.
