About our regrouting in Maidstone
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We’re often asked to deal with old grout in a dated colour and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Lots of homes in Maidstone are rented, and rented bathrooms and kitchens see heavy use. Fresh sealant and clean grout help a property present well between tenants and stop water getting where it shouldn’t.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Maidstone and across Kent.
Maidstone homes and their sealant
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Maidstone. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
Managing a site like South Borough Primary School? Then 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. Letting a property close to Maidstone West station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.

What affects the cost of regrouting
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Maidstone
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. For businesses in Maidstone, a room closed because of a leak or mould costs more than the sealant, so failing joints are best replaced on a planned basis.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

Advice
Your questions about regrouting in Maidstone
Can you do regrouting in Maidstone?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Maidstone is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you take on hotel work around Maidstone?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
We seal corners with silicone. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What we are called out for in Maidstone
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
If you live in an older home near St Philip's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
