What regrouting looks like in Hinxhill
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Brook Community Primary School are buildings too, and 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. Letting a property close to Ashford International station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hinxhill
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, and the corners get fresh silicone. If you have greasy, stained grout behind the hob and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms alike.
Homes around Hinxhill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

When to call us in Hinxhill
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common questions in Hinxhill
Will you come out to Hinxhill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ashford International station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Generally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area in most cases. Somewhere like Hinxhill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear the area around the work

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It wears and darkens over time.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a small place like Hinxhill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
