Regrouting in Martin Mill, Kent
Regrouting for Martin Mill, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Have any tile that moves checked right away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
How we handle regrouting in Martin Mill
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Typical jobs include dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout washed out of a shower, across bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.
Being in a small place like Martin Mill makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we’re called out for in Martin Mill
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that is hard to shift. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
Look out for any of the following:
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Augustine, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- When the joint can take water or movement

What else we do in Martin Mill
Martin Mill questions
Do you cover smaller places like Martin Mill?
Yes, Martin Mill is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Martin Mill station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. We’re also fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone is not the answer, and we will tell you before work begins.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, that’s common. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Martin Mill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Regrouting around Martin Mill
Martin Mill is close to the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Langdon Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Martin Mill station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

The process

- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit

- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
