What we’re called out for in Marlpit Hill
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
The most common problems we see are:
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
If you look after a building such as Edenbridge Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

How we handle regrouting in Marlpit Hill
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and corners filled with grout instead of silicone, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
For a small place like Marlpit Hill, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What regrouting looks like in Marlpit Hill
Marlpit Hill has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. Letting a property close to Edenbridge station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Check the corner silicone every few months
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
What happens if it’s left?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. In a small place like Marlpit Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Common questions in Marlpit Hill
Do you work in hotels near Marlpit Hill?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
Do you cover smaller places like Marlpit Hill?
Yes, Marlpit Hill is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we will tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
Can tenants book the work?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How we quote for regrouting
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Shower walls
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Kitchen splashbacks
The grout by the hob and sink takes most of the mess. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Marlpit Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
