Bathrooms and kitchens in Harrietsham
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.
In the older streets around Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Regrouting in Harrietsham
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for old grout in a dated colour and good tiles let down by tired grout, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Smaller places like Harrietsham still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

FAQs for Harrietsham
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham 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’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do regrouting in Harrietsham?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Harrietsham is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.

Common reasons people contact us are:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY versus a professional finish
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, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. A visit to Harrietsham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Wet rooms
Wet rooms have water across the floor, so good grout is important. We check for loose tiles before starting.
