Regrouting for homes and businesses in Kingsdown
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. If you are dealing with stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and cracked or crumbling grout lines, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes around Kingsdown are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Regrouting in Kingsdown: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. Homes close to Church of St Catherine include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Sittingbourne School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Surface by surface
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.

How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as Kingsdown, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
