How the job changes by surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We renew the grout and the worktop sealant.
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Regrouting in Rainham
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that won’t come clean, the discolouration has generally soaked into the grout. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you are at it. If you are dealing with dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor and grout stained black or orange that won’t clean, we can put it right, on shower walls, tiled floors and wet rooms alike.
Homes around Rainham have been extended and refitted over the decades. A common problem is new sealant laid over old, which never bonds properly, which is why all the old material has to come out first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area from start to finish. In Rainham, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- Dust is cleared from every joint.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Rainham
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a family home in Rainham, a failed seal around a bath or a frame lets water into places you can’t see, such as under the floor, behind a panel or into a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What else we do in Rainham
DIY versus a professional finish
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. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need regrouting in Rainham
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.
Questions to ask before you book
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Rainham: your questions answered
What guarantee comes with regrouting in Rainham?
All our work, in Rainham and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do regrouting in Rainham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rainham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we’ll say so before going ahead.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Medway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Bathrooms and kitchens in Rainham
Rainham is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. 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.
Letting a property close to Rainham (Kent) station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. Managing a site like St Margaret's Church of England Junior School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
