Regrouting around Newington
Newington 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Folkestone West station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

About our regrouting in Newington
Regrouting is usually paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you’re dealing with kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Being in a small place like Newington makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we are there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Newington: your questions answered
Is Newington in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Newington is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Newington within the area you cover?
Yes. Newington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Mention the colour you have in mind when you ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes, we often do. The shower generally fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Newington needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep the fan on after showering
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and open a path for water.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.
Corners and edges
Corners flex as the building moves, so they get silicone, not grout.
Leave it or put it right?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Around Newington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before we start.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
