Regrouting in Hales Place: local notes
There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Hales Place. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. If you look after a building such as St Stephen's Junior School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What else we do in Hales Place
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Do you need regrouting in Hales Place?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like Hales Place, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a smaller place like Hales Place, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Your questions about regrouting in Hales Place
Do you work for landlords with property near Canterbury West station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work in hotels near Hales Place?
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.
Do you guarantee regrouting?

Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow when the job is done.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
What does regrouting cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
How we quote for regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Want a quote for regrouting? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it so early action pays.
