Regrouting in Murston
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Murston and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
Regrouting in Murston, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water can get in behind the tiles. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. If you’re dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and good tiles let down by tired grout, we can help, whatever the surface.
Even in a smaller place like Murston, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Whether it’s a cottage bathroom or a newer en suite, the approach is the same: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Murston and everywhere else we cover.

Murston questions
Is Murston within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work in hotels near Murston?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We will tell you when we quote.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. Shower grout tends to go before the rest, so many people regrout just that part.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with photos by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Different surfaces, different methods
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout there would crack.

When to call us in Murston
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, which is why we check the tiles first.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
For landlords with property near Sittingbourne station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
Landlord and commercial work in Murston
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Around Murston, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Murston
Murston is within about 2 miles of 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. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around Murston. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
If you look after a building such as Sunny Bank Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. In a smaller place like Murston, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
