How we handle regrouting in Knave's Ash
Grout is the filler between your tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
In a village or hamlet like Knave's Ash, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Knave's Ash questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Knave's Ash for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Knave's Ash is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out at the start.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
Where are you based?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.
Do you grout the corners?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Knave's Ash, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Regrouting around Knave's Ash
Knave's Ash is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so we seal them rather than grout them.

Signs you need regrouting in Knave's Ash
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard can wash out within a few years.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Grout in corners that has cracked
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Cross, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
