Regrouting for homes and businesses in South Alkham
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 bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout in a colour the owner wants to change.
Somewhere as small as South Alkham, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere as small as South Alkham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.

Common questions in South Alkham
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kearsney station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover South Alkham for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and South Alkham is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint, not just the surface.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
Landlord and commercial work in South Alkham
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
How the job changes by surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but still stain and crack. New grout freshens them up.
Common problems we fix in South Alkham
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it over time, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Anthony the Martyr, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Cracked or broken tiles
- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Why act early in South Alkham
Colouring the surface of old grout is a quick cosmetic fix. They do not fill cracks or stop water, and stains can show through again. Raking out and regrouting replaces the grout itself. In a small place like South Alkham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Bathrooms and kitchens in South Alkham
South Alkham is within about 2 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Kearsney station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
