For a village or hamlet like Harbledown, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.

Regrouting in Harbledown
We work across Harbledown, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and old grout in a dated colour.
Around Harbledown, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What affects the quote in Harbledown
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote.
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old doesn’t bond well. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Harbledown, 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 a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Regrouting around Harbledown
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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Harbledown. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Managing a site like The Canterbury Primary School? Then 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. Letting a property close to Canterbury West station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Common questions in Harbledown
Do you work in hotels near Harbledown?
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 work for landlords with property near Canterbury West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We are also fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.

How long does regrouting take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We will tell you when we quote.
