Regrouting in Lydden, Kent
Our applicators work in Lydden on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
Bathrooms and kitchens in Lydden
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lydden Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary Church of St Mary Virgin, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

Regrouting in Lydden, done properly
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls, and common reasons people get in touch are floor grout that has worn and darkened and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned.
For a small place like Lydden, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Lydden
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
For landlords with property near Kearsney station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lydden
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Lydden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Lydden
Do you cover Lydden for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lydden is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Kearsney station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
What does regrouting cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll say how long yours will take.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lydden
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, which turns a regrout into a retile. Dealing with it now keeps it small. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lydden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Fully insured
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
