Regrouting for homes and businesses in Lower Rainham
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We are often asked to deal with a grout colour that no longer suits the room and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, on shower walls, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
Around Lower Rainham, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Lower Rainham questions
Is Lower Rainham within the area you cover?
Yes. Lower Rainham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before they get wet.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will regrouting fix loose tiles?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Lower Rainham, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Getting ready for the visit

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lower Rainham
Lower Rainham is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Thames View 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 let a flat or house near Rainham (Kent) station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward while the tiles are still sound.

What else we do in Lower Rainham
What affects the cost of regrouting
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Roughly how big the job is
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Need a quote? Please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before work begins.
Why act early in Lower Rainham
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Rainham can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Tidy, careful work
- One-year guarantee on every job

How the job changes by surface
Corners and edges
The joint between tiles and a bath, tray or worktop gets silicone. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
