Regrouting in Smeeth

We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Either way, tiled areas in Smeeth are handled the same careful way. If you are dealing with grout that makes sound tiles look old and stained grout that cleaning won’t shift, we can help, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors alike.

In a village or hamlet like Smeeth, 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.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface

Corners and edges

Edges are resealed while we’re there, so the whole area is finished together.

Bathroom floors

Floor grout takes foot traffic as well as water. It wears and darkens over time.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Smeeth

Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smeeth Community Primary School, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Smeeth: your questions answered

Is Smeeth within the area you cover?

Yes. Smeeth is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

What do you put in the joint?

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Do you reseal at the same time?

We normally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and could still leak.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Regrouting will not fix loose tiles. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting, so you can decide what to do.

How do I get a quote for regrouting in Smeeth?

Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.

Can I do it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Signs you need regrouting in Smeeth

Hard water and soap leave a film on grout that’s hard to shift. In time the grout under it darkens and breaks down, which is when replacing it makes sense.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Old grout in a dated colour
  • Cracked or crumbling grout lines
  • Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
  • Splashback grout that has darkened

In the older streets around Church of St Mary, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they hold
  • When the joint can take water or movement
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Whether you can choose the colour

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I do it myself?

Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Quotes for regrouting in Smeeth

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • The address or postcode of the job
  • A few photos by email, if you can
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • If someone has resealed it before

To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We will give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips

A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:

  • Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
  • Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
  • Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
  • Check the corner silicone every few months

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.

Fixing grout early is a small job. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.

What happens on the day

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere as small as Smeeth, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
  2. The old grout is removed to an even depth.
  3. We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
  4. We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
  5. Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
  • Tell us about any water getting in
  • Tell us if parking is tricky
