Regrouting in Greatness
Regrouting across Greatness and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
How we handle regrouting in Greatness
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors, and people most often call us about grout that’s cracking and breaking up and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Smaller places like Greatness still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Greatness and across Kent.

When something else is needed

- Cracked or broken tiles
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Greatness, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Quotes for regrouting in Greatness
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What regrouting looks like in Greatness
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Bat & Ball station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Baptist, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Greatness is about 1 mile north-east of Sevenoaks, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Greatness or further out, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, and Greatness is one of them. For nearby work, see our London page (19 miles or so).
All of TN13, TN14 and TN15 is covered for regrouting. Whether your property is on Seal Road, Mill Lane and Sandy Lane or anywhere close by, we can help.

Around Greatness
Typical jobs here are in homes near The Old Bat and Ball pub, Wildernesse School and Knole Academy and the streets around them. Greatness has its own railway station: Bat & Ball station.

Signs you need regrouting in Greatness
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
