The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a job in Herne Bay, we need access to where the work is and somewhere nearby to park. For outside work, let us know about side access, gates and any upper-floor joints.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How we handle regrouting in Herne Bay
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and old grout in a dated colour, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and shower walls.
Around Herne Bay, it’s mostly busy family bathrooms and kitchens, which is hard on sealant and grout. The usual signs are mould in the bead, gaps by the sink and grout that is cracked or stained.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Your questions about regrouting in Herne Bay
Do you take on hotel work around Herne Bay?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Do you cover Herne Bay for regrouting?
Yes, Herne Bay is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
How long does regrouting take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
How long should I wait before showering?
We will tell you on the day. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout there would crack.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shower walls
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
- Bathroom floors
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
What we are called out for in Herne Bay
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
