About our regrouting in Heronden
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts, and it’s a chance to change the colour too. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are grout in corners that has cracked and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Around Heronden, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
Regrouting around Heronden
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.
Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Heronden questions
Is Heronden in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Heronden is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Heronden?
Yes, Heronden is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What guarantee comes with the work?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
What happens on the day
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. Somewhere like Heronden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Heronden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Quotes for regrouting in Heronden
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How much there is to do
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The product the joint needs
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few photos by email, if you can
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Common problems we fix in Heronden
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you look after a building such as Eastry Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Are they insured?
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
