How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Regrouting in North Street
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, 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. Typical jobs include grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned, on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms.
In a village or hamlet like North Street, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in North Street
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the cure time is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How long the guarantee is
North Street homes and their sealant
North Street is within about 1 mile of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Gillingham (Kent) station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

How the visit works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as North Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
We will tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
What affects the quote in North Street
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- Any working-time requirements on site
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
North Street: your questions answered
Do you cover North Street for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Street is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Gillingham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
When can I use the shower again?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. The grout and sealant both need to cure before the shower is used.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How long will you be here?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Corners get silicone, not grout. They flex, and grout there cracks.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
