What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Garlinge is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions

About our regrouting in Garlinge
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are grout in corners that has cracked and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Smaller places like Garlinge still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It doesn’t repair failed tanking underneath.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it and renew the silicone at the edges.

When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Garlinge: your questions answered
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in Garlinge?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Garlinge within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Garlinge?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before work begins.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. In a smaller place like Garlinge, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting in Garlinge: local notes
Garlinge 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, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Garlinge has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Rented homes near Margate station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Garlinge Primary School and Nursery, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Garlinge is about 1 mile west of Margate, in Kent. Across the CT9 area, we cover regrouting for homes and businesses. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Garlinge among them. There’s also a page for Chelmsford, about 45 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Garlinge
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
In the older streets around St James, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
