About our regrouting in Old Heath
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are grout that makes sound tiles look old and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean.
Smaller places like Old Heath still have plenty of bathrooms that work hard every day. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. A visit to Old Heath is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What affects the quote in Old Heath
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Old Heath questions
Do you cover Old Heath for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Old Heath is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Old Heath?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you guarantee regrouting?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in Old Heath
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
In the older streets around St Barnabas, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Bathroom floors
- Shower walls
What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Homes in smaller places like Old Heath can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Old Heath
Old Heath is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Old Heath Community Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Letting a property close to Hythe station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
