Regrouting for homes and businesses in Shorne
Before we start, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We are often asked to deal with grout in a colour the owner wants to change and crumbling grout between the tiles, across tiled floors, bathroom wall tiles and bathroom floors.
In a village or hamlet like Shorne, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Shorne
Movement behind the tiles cracks grout. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, so we check the tiles before any work starts.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. For a village or hamlet like Shorne, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
How we quote for regrouting
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Shorne
Bathrooms and kitchens in Shorne
Shorne is within about 3 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Shorne Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
Shorne is about 2 miles south-east of Gravesend, in Kent. If you need regrouting in Shorne, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for a quick quote.

Shorne’s nearest station is Higham station, roughly 1.7 miles north-east.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Questions from Shorne
Do you cover smaller places like Shorne?
Yes. Shorne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Higham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We use silicone in corners and along edges. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones at the start.
Why act early in Shorne
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Shorne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
