Regrouting in Highstead, done properly
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 you can pick a different colour while you are at it. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are grout in corners that has cracked and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Being in a small place like Highstead makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

FAQs for Highstead
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you do regrouting in Highstead?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Highstead is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Highstead?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
When to call us in Highstead
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What to look for in a quote
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why it’s worth doing now in Highstead
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Highstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Why book with us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Arbo and Everbuild products

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.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Getting ready for the visit
