Regrouting in Kempe's Corner, Kent
Regrouting across Kempe's Corner and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.

- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
About our regrouting in Kempe's Corner
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We work on wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom floors, and people most often call us about old grout in a dated colour and good tiles let down by tired grout.
Being in a small place like Kempe's Corner makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a village or hamlet like Kempe's Corner, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Waterproofing that has failed below the tiling
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Kempe's Corner homes and their sealant
Kempe's Corner has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. 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.
In the older streets around All Saints’ Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Rented homes near Wye station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like Lady Joanna Thornhill Endowed Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Kempe's Corner questions
Do you take on hotel work around Kempe's Corner?
Yes, hotels and guest houses are among the places we work. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.

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.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Kempe's Corner?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Kempe's Corner
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. In a small place like Kempe's Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
