Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hawkhurst
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you’re dealing with cracked or crumbling grout lines and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, we can help, on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls alike.
Homes around Hawkhurst range from older cottages to more recent houses. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.

Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In an older home around Hawkhurst, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Hawkhurst: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Etchingham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Hawkhurst?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out before any grout comes out.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking around Hawkhurst is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
