Common problems we fix in Out Elmstead
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout washed out of a shower
For landlords with property near Aylesham station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Out Elmstead
Grout is the filler between your tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, 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. We work on bathroom wall tiles, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and grout washed out of a shower.
Homes around Out Elmstead are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Out Elmstead
If you manage several properties in or around Out Elmstead, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. In a small place like Out Elmstead, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Your questions about regrouting in Out Elmstead
Do you cover Out Elmstead for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Out Elmstead is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How much does regrouting cost in Out Elmstead?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
We can. We will look at the rest of the room too and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and it’s all in the quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

What regrouting looks like in Out Elmstead
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Giles, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Barham Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Older cottages and farmhouses around Out Elmstead can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

How the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
Wet rooms
Wet room grout and sealant need to be in good order. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Once grout cracks, it tends to get worse. Water gets in behind and the tiles can start to loosen and early regrouting can avoid a much bigger job.
