Do you need regrouting in Sevenoaks?
A poor original job is a common cause. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
In the older streets around St John the Baptist, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
Regrouting in Sevenoaks
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. Typical jobs include grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, on wet rooms, shower walls and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Sevenoaks have been extended and refitted over the decades. Sealant run over the top of an old bead is a common cause of leaks and mould, so we take every joint back to clean before anything new goes in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Corners and edges
Where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop, the joint is sealed. Grout in that joint wouldn’t last.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Why deal with it now?
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In Sevenoaks, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
