About our regrouting in Highsted
Across Highsted, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include floor grout that won’t come clean and splashback grout that has darkened, across shower walls, bathroom floors and tiled floors.
Being in a small place like Highsted makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We will tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Highsted, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Have loose tiles looked at early
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Highsted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Highsted. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rodmersham School, 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.

Highsted: your questions answered
Will you come out to Highsted?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. 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 work begins.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout cannot take that movement.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What we do, step by step
There is not 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 for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Highsted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

What else we do in Highsted
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we’re called out for in Highsted
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
