About our regrouting in Greenstead
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We are often asked to deal with grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across wet rooms, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Greenstead range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Your questions about regrouting in Greenstead
I let a flat near Hythe station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you take on hotel work around Greenstead?
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.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, that’s common. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a job in Greenstead, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. 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.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Greenstead homes and their sealant
Greenstead 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For landlords with property near Hythe station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach

What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Honest limits

- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are chipped or split

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
When to call us in Greenstead
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before we start.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Floor grout that will not come clean
If you look after a building such as Unity Primary Academy, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes.
