Frant Regrouting
Tiled areas in Frant need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
How we handle regrouting in Frant
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We are often asked to deal with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout washed out of a shower, across bathroom wall tiles, shower walls and tiled floors.
In a village or hamlet like Frant, 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.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Signs you need regrouting in Frant
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
If you let a flat or house near Frant station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Around Frant, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
If you’re 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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Regrouting around Frant
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.
Managing a site like Frant Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Alban, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Your questions about regrouting in Frant
Will you come out to Frant?
Yes, Frant is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Frant in your area for regrouting?
Yes, Frant is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is the work guaranteed?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We’re also fully insured.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. The grout and sealant both need to cure before they get wet.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Frant, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
