How we handle regrouting in Lower Upnor
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are good tiles let down by tired grout and shower grout that has worn away.
In a village or hamlet like Lower Upnor, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
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We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same.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 amount of work
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
If you are in Lower Upnor and need regrouting, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lower Upnor
Lower Upnor is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Managing a site like Chattenden Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near St Philip & St James, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Lower Upnor, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.

- Mention any tricky access
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.

Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Do you need regrouting in Lower Upnor?
Soap scum and limescale build up on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
