About our regrouting in Kemsing
Across Kemsing, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, across bathroom floors, wet rooms and kitchen splashbacks.
In a smaller place like Kemsing, homes are mostly houses and bungalows rather than flats, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Kemsing, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kemsing
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Otford station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Signs you need regrouting in Kemsing
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout and stick to it. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Old grout in a dated colour
Managing a site like Kemsing Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Common questions in Kemsing
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Otford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Kemsing 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.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better, while lighter grout brightens a room.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Homes in smaller places like Kemsing can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
