Regrouting in Hoath, Kent
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Hoath and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Hoath, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Regrouting in Hoath
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are crumbling grout between the tiles and grout in corners that has cracked.
Around Hoath, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Questions from Hoath
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Hoath for regrouting?
Yes, Hoath is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You will get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow, so you can decide what to do.
Common problems we fix in Hoath
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Regrouting around Hoath
Hoath is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. 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.
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Hoath Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Hoath is about 3 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. From the centre of Hoath to the outskirts, regrouting is available for homes and businesses alike. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, and Hoath is one of them. Chelmsford is on our list too, around 40 miles away.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hoath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
