Somewhere as small as Saltwood, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.

Regrouting in Saltwood
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. New grout is the fix that lasts and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. Common call-outs are for shower grout that has worn away and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom floors.
Around Saltwood, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Saltwood
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Over time it stains, softens and starts to crumble, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
If you look after a building such as Saltwood CofE Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
New grout in a wet room keeps the surface sound. It does not repair failed tanking underneath.
Shower walls
Shower walls are the most common area we regrout. Cracked or missing grout here lets water behind the tiles.
What affects the quote in Saltwood
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The type of property
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.
Why act early in Saltwood
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Older cottages and farmhouses around Saltwood can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
What regrouting looks like in Saltwood
Saltwood is within about 1 mile of 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.
For landlords with property near Sandling station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?

What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
