What regrouting looks like in Otham
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you look after a building such as Senacre Technology College, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. In the older streets around St Nicholas's Church, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Otham is about 2 miles south-east of Maidstone, in Kent. Anywhere in ME15, we can carry out regrouting at your property. Otham is one of 922 places in Kent we cover for regrouting. For nearby work, see our London page (33 miles or so).

Regrouting in Otham, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on shower walls, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and people most often call us about gaps where the shower grout has gone and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
In and around Otham, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Otham and everywhere else we cover.

Why it’s worth doing now in Otham
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but patched grout rarely matches the rest and the old grout carries on failing. Doing the full area gives you one colour and sound joints throughout. In an older home around Otham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Otham and across Kent. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.

What else we do in Otham
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Common problems we fix in Otham
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in corners that has cracked
Letting a property close to Bearsted station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. A visit to Otham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Common questions in Otham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bearsted station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Otham in your area for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Otham is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long should I wait before showering?
You’ll get a clear time from us before we go. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will the sealant be renewed as well as the grout?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
