Regrouting in Ickham, Kent
Our applicators work in Ickham on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
About our regrouting in Ickham
Most regrouting jobs include resealing too. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Typical jobs include cracked grout along the bath or tray and cracked or crumbling grout lines, across kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like Ickham, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common questions in Ickham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Ickham within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Most of the time, yes. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Ickham homes and their sealant
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. Ickham has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What affects the quote in Ickham
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Which sealant suits the joint
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is

When to call us in Ickham
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ickham
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Ickham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Ickham 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 agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
Before we leave, you’ll know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
