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’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Gillingham in your area for regrouting?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
You get our 12-month guarantee on every job. We are also fully insured.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Regrouting in Gillingham
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Gillingham are handled the same careful way. If you have grout that’s cracking and breaking up and shower grout that has worn away, we can help.
Alongside its houses and flats, Gillingham has offices, shops and places to stay, and their washrooms and staff kitchens need the same attention as any home. Homes and businesses get the same careful preparation before anything new goes in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In Gillingham, we work in everything from flats and family homes to offices and hotels. Whichever it is, tell us how to get in, where to park and where the work is.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.

What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. In a large rental market like Gillingham, tired sealant leads to tenant complaints about mould, damp and leaks. It’s simpler to sort between tenants than in the middle of a let.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.
Regrouting in Gillingham: local notes
Gillingham is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
Managing a site like Featherby Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Gillingham (Kent) station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

When to call us in Gillingham
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
