Regrouting for homes and businesses in Millbank
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Either way, tiled areas in Millbank are handled the same careful way. Typical jobs include shower grout that has worn away and crumbling grout between the tiles, across wet rooms, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors.
Around Millbank, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Millbank as everywhere else we work.

What affects the cost of regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many areas need sealing
- Any mould that needs treating
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s generally the first thing to need attention.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We will tell you before any work starts so you know what’s involved. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around Millbank, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
What you get with us
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

Bathrooms and kitchens in Millbank
Millbank is close to 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, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Cross, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
Millbank is about 2 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We carry out regrouting for homes and businesses in Millbank, as part of our work across Kent. Millbank is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We also work in Chelmsford, around 40 miles away.

Close by, we work in Maypole (1 mile south), Old Tree (1 mile south-east), Highstead (1 mile north-east), Hoath (1 mile south) and Knave's Ash (1 mile south-west).

Not far away are West Blean and Thornden Woods.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. In a small place like Millbank, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Signs you need regrouting in Millbank
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
