Regrouting for homes and businesses in Ivychurch
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We work on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about shower grout that has worn away and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
Being in a small place like Ivychurch makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Ivychurch
Is Ivychurch within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
What does regrouting cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Stained grout is best replaced.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.

Signs you need regrouting in Ivychurch
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Regrouting in Ivychurch: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St George, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Around Ivychurch

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting will not fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like Ivychurch needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
