About our regrouting in Strood
Regrouting suits shower walls, bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and wet rooms. It can be a full room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. If you have grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles, we can help, on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Strood, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Leave it or put it right?
Regrouting will not help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before work begins, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. In a small place like Strood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Strood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- 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 the job changes by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. It’s a good time to change the grout colour.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so we seal them rather than grout them.
Strood homes and their sealant
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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first. Managing a site like Rolvenden Primary School? Then we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
