Regrouting for homes and businesses in Old Tree
Across Old Tree, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. The old grout is raked out, the joints cleaned and new grout laid, finished with new silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and shower grout that has worn away.
Homes around Old Tree are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Tiled floors
- Kitchen splashbacks

What else we do in Old Tree
Why it’s worth doing now in Old Tree
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Old Tree, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why book with us
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- Fully insured
- Over 20 years’ experience

Questions from Old Tree
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Old Tree?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
New grout cannot hold loose tiles in place. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can you change the 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 send us an email.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we are using.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Old Tree and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
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.
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Old Tree, the journey is planned in advance: 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 agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

How we quote for regrouting
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
Old Tree homes and their sealant
Old Tree 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Hoath Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of the Holy Cross include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you let a flat or house near Herne Bay station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
