About our regrouting in Newnham
A grout colour change can freshen a room without retiling. You might go from white to grey, or the other way round. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. If you’re dealing with crumbling grout between the tiles and shower grout that has worn away, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Newnham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Newnham and everywhere else we cover.

What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Bathroom floors
New floor grout makes a big difference to how a bathroom looks. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Do you need regrouting in Newnham?
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout stained black or orange that won’t clean
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
If you look after a building such as Eastling Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if the job turns out different
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newnham
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Newnham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Your questions about regrouting in Newnham
Is Newnham within the area you cover?
Yes, Newnham 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 Teynham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We will tell you when we quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Newnham
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
