What happens if it’s left?
It’s tempting to fill a few cracks yourself, but the patches often do not match, and the old grout keeps failing around them. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around Plaxtol, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Regrouting in Plaxtol
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. We rake it out and replace it, then reseal the corners and edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and wet rooms, and the jobs we see most are good tiles let down by tired grout and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Around Plaxtol, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Regrouting around Plaxtol
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Plaxtol Church include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. If you look after a building such as Plaxtol Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. Rented homes near Borough Green & Wrotham station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Plaxtol questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Plaxtol within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How do I get a quote for regrouting in Plaxtol?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
How long should I wait before showering?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We will give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Please follow it, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Plaxtol, 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.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What affects the quote in Plaxtol
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we are there, so the whole area is finished together.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
