About our regrouting in Hever
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, 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. If you are dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can put it right, on bathroom wall tiles, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks alike.
In a village or hamlet like Hever, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Regrouting in Hever: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Hever is about 6 miles north-east of East Grinstead, in Kent. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Hever can book us for regrouting, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. We cover 922 towns and villages across Kent, large and small. For nearby work, see our Crawley page.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Questions from Hever
Do you cover smaller places like Hever?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Hever?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Do you need regrouting in Hever?
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Rented homes near Hever station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Hever, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
