About our regrouting in How Green
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help, on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls alike.
For a small place like How Green, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. Older cottages and farmhouses around How Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.
Why How Green clients choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We’re fully insured
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- We never seal over old sealant
When to call us in How Green
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
For landlords with property near Hever station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled

What regrouting looks like in How Green
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided 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.

- 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.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.

Do you guarantee regrouting?

Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that is common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It can’t fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
