Questions from Maltman's Hill
Is Maltman's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Maltman's Hill 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 Pluckley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you grout the corners?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They move slightly, and grout there cracks.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
When can I use the shower again?
It varies with the products and the room. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Regrouting in Maltman's Hill
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Just mention the colour you’d like when you call 0345 464 0079 or email us. Common call-outs are for floor grout that won’t come clean and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, across shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks.
Homes around Maltman's Hill are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Maltman's Hill and across Kent.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Don’t use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
What affects the quote in Maltman's Hill
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Maltman's Hill
Most grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
If you let a flat or house near Pluckley station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. The edges where floor meets wall or bath get silicone.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
