Regrouting for homes and businesses in Riverhead
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, or just the area that has failed. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Typical jobs include splashback grout that has darkened and floor grout that has worn and darkened, on tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and shower walls.
Homes around Riverhead range from older cottages to more recent houses. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Common questions in Riverhead
Is Riverhead within the area you cover?
Yes, Riverhead is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work in hotels near Riverhead?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. Rooms can be done a few at a time, so the building stays open.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
Before we leave, we’ll tell you how long to wait. Both the grout and the silicone need time to cure before the shower is used.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Common problems we fix in Riverhead
A poor original job is a common cause. Grout that was too wet, not packed in or cleaned off too hard tends to wash out early.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
For landlords with property near Sevenoaks station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- The length of the guarantee
Regrouting around Riverhead
Riverhead has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Amherst School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. A visit to Riverhead is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Rinse the tiles after showering
We’ll tell you when the area can be used again. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Surface by surface
Bathroom floors
Cracked floor grout can point to movement underneath. We look for loose tiles first.
Bathroom wall tiles
Grout by the basin and bath tends to mark first. We can regroute just those areas or the whole wall.
How we quote for regrouting
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You will have a clear quote before work begins.

What else we do in Riverhead
Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins so you know what’s involved. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. Homes in smaller places like Riverhead can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
