About our regrouting in Martin
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Common call-outs are for grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened, on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Martin, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Regrouting in Martin: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Around Martin, as everywhere, regrouting is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.

What else we do in Martin
What we are called out for in Martin
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Your questions about regrouting in Martin
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Martin?
All our work, in Martin and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Martin?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. For a village or hamlet like Martin, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
