Old Hawkinge Regrouting
Our applicators work in Old Hawkinge on raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Shower walls
A shower wall is soaked daily, so grout there works hardest. It’s often the first place grout washes out.
Regrouting in Old Hawkinge, done properly
Regrouting is generally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. We’re often asked to deal with crumbling grout between the tiles and splashback grout that has darkened, across wet rooms, tiled floors and shower walls.
Homes around Old Hawkinge are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.

What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Old Hawkinge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Old Hawkinge
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
Check the corner silicone now and then. It’s the part that moves, so it’s usually the first thing to need attention.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Do you need regrouting in Old Hawkinge?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly can wash out within a few years.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What regrouting looks like in Old Hawkinge
Old Hawkinge is close to 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 Folkestone Central station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you look after a building such as Hawkinge 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.

Do you cover smaller places like Old Hawkinge?
Yes, Old Hawkinge is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before work begins.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
