Hawkinge Regrouting
Regrouting across Hawkinge and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Regrouting in Hawkinge
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you have grout in corners that has cracked and gaps where the shower grout has gone, we can help, on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors alike.
Around Hawkinge, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do in a big town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What else we do in Hawkinge
Why act early in Hawkinge
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. Homes in smaller places like Hawkinge can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.

What regrouting looks like in Hawkinge
Hawkinge is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Folkestone West station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like The Churchill 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. Homes close to St Luke's include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
