How we handle regrouting in Manston
Across Manston, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. Typical jobs include splashback grout that has darkened and good tiles let down by tired grout, on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Homes around Manston 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.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What regrouting looks like in Manston
Manston is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St. Catherine's Church include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Thanet Parkway station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Manston is about 2 miles west of Ramsgate, in Kent. From the centre of Manston to the outskirts, we cover regrouting for every kind of property, from flats and houses to offices and hotels.

What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so everything is renewed at once.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Common problems we fix in Manston
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:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Schools such as Newington Community Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers, as they can break grout down.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Manston needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll point them out at the start.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What does regrouting cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They won’t fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Manston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
