Regrouting for homes and businesses in Hythe
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout in corners that has cracked.
In a town like Hythe, older streets sit alongside newer estates, and bathrooms range from decades-old suites to brand-new ones. Whatever their age, sealant and grout tend to go before anything else.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Hythe homes and their sealant
Hythe 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Schools such as Hythe Bay CofE Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Hythe is about 4 miles west of Folkestone, in Kent. Jobs in Hythe get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Across Kent, we cover 922 places, Hythe among them. You can also see our page for Chelmsford, about 53 miles away.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
Your questions about regrouting in Hythe
Is regrouting in Hythe guaranteed?
All our work, in Hythe and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Hythe?
Yes, Hythe is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
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.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
What affects the quote in Hythe
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints

- Where the property is

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. A visit in Hythe needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not solve:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on size. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Can I do it myself?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Do you need regrouting in Hythe?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael and All Angels, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
