DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
How we handle regrouting in Hockenden
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you have crumbling grout between the tiles and floor grout that won’t come clean, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hockenden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Quotes for regrouting in Hockenden
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need regrouting in Hockenden?
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
For landlords with property near Swanley station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Hockenden and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Hockenden, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Common questions in Hockenden
Do you cover Hockenden for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hockenden is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Swanley station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Regrouting around Hockenden
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Horizon Primary Academy, 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. In the older streets around St Mary the Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
