Questions from Kimpton
Can you do regrouting in Kimpton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Kimpton is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Kimpton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
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.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How we handle regrouting in Kimpton
We work across Kimpton, regrouting bathrooms, showers and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you are dealing with grout that’s cracking and breaking up and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can help, on tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors alike.
Somewhere as small as Kimpton, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it so early action pays.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Kimpton
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Kimpton Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are loose or hollow behind
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Leave it or put it right?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They don’t fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Kimpton, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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. You will know the price before we begin.
