Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for householders, landlords and businesses in Great Chart. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How we handle regrouting in Great Chart
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. Common call-outs are for cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Somewhere as small as Great Chart, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. In a small place like Great Chart, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
FAQs for Great Chart
I let a flat near Ashford International station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Great Chart?
Yes. Great Chart is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Bigger jobs take longer.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Great Chart?
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’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
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, and we’ll tell you what we are using.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need regrouting in Great Chart
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they hold
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number and length of the joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Great Chart
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Chart Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
