About our regrouting in Smarden Bell
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, and the corners get fresh silicone. We work on wet rooms, bathroom floors and tiled floors, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the shower grout has gone and crumbling grout between the tiles.
Homes around Smarden Bell are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Smarden Bell: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Headcorn station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover Smarden Bell for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Smarden Bell is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
What does regrouting cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.
How long should I wait before showering?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used so please stick to it.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Regrouting won’t fix loose tiles. We check the tiles first and tell you if any are loose or hollow so you know where you stand.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles and moving joints need sealant.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Smarden Bell can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Surface by surface
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
Bathroom floors
Grout on a floor is walked on as well as wetted. It gets worn and dirty.

What happens if it’s left?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and the room is out of use for longer. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Around Smarden Bell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and keep the room ventilated.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What regrouting looks like in Smarden Bell
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Smarden Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Headcorn station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
