How we handle regrouting in Selsted
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. If you’re dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and grout in a colour the owner wants to change, we can put it right.
For a small place like Selsted, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Landlord and commercial work in Selsted
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Selsted and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere as small as Selsted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What affects the cost of regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If someone has resealed it before
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout with a soft brush. Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers because they wear grout away.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.

Regrouting around Selsted
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.

What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms

Corners and edges
Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.
Signs you need regrouting in Selsted
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, until the joints are rough and low.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you look after a building such as Selsted Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Selsted questions
I let a flat near Shepherds Well station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Selsted?
Yes. Selsted is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes, that is common. The shower usually fails first, so it’s often the only area that needs doing.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Generally, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes, regrouting is the time to do it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
