Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hillborough
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We’re often asked to deal with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, across shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms.
Homes around Hillborough range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What else we do in Hillborough
Surface by surface
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough so early action pays.
Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout generally comes back. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In an older home around Hillborough, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
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. We take all of that into account in your quote.

FAQs for Hillborough
Do you cover Hillborough for regrouting?
Yes, Hillborough is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Herne Bay station. Can you help?

Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you grout the corners?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly and grout can’t take that movement.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. For a job in Hillborough, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Bathrooms and kitchens in Hillborough
Hillborough is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Reculver Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
