About our regrouting in Stowting Common
A bathroom with good tiles can still look worn if the grout has gone. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. We work on bathroom floors, wet rooms and tiled floors, and people most often call us about stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and greasy, stained grout behind the hob.
Being in a small place like Stowting Common makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Stowting Common and everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need regrouting in Stowting Common
Grout is porous, so water, soap and grime soak into it. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Floor grout that won’t come clean
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Before you book anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- The length of the guarantee
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for regrouting
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Check the corner silicone every few months
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Ventilate the room well so the grout dries between uses.
Cracked grout does not stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damaged tiles that need replacing
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What regrouting looks like in Stowting Common
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Stowting Church of England 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.

What happens if it’s left?
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Stowting Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Stowting Common
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do regrouting in Stowting Common?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stowting Common is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work, and we’re fully insured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
The wait depends on the materials and how warm the room is. We’ll give you a time to follow at the end of the visit.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
