How we handle regrouting in Lower Hardres
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Just mention the colour you’d like when you ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. We work on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and people most often call us about old grout in a dated colour and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Around Lower Hardres, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Lower Hardres
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys are buildings too, and 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. For landlords with property near Canterbury East station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Landlord and commercial work in Lower Hardres
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we’re called out for in Lower Hardres
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Common questions in Lower Hardres
I let a flat near Canterbury East station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Lower Hardres?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Lower Hardres is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.

No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has normally failed. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
