Can you do regrouting in Hackington?
Yes, Hackington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Are you insured?

Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
About our regrouting in Hackington
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have cracked or crumbling grout lines and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, we can help, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles alike.
Being in a small place like Hackington makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Hackington as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Hackington
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Schools such as The Archbishop's School are buildings too, and 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.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Hackington
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of St Cosmus and St Damian include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and let the room air.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
Surface by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Hackington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hackington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
