About our regrouting in Styants Bottom
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. Common call-outs are for grout in corners that has cracked and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on tiled floors, kitchen splashbacks and shower walls.
Homes around Styants Bottom are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Regrouting in Styants Bottom: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Rented homes near Kemsing station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

Styants Bottom questions
Do you cover smaller places like Styants Bottom?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Styants Bottom for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Styants Bottom is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone, and it makes sense to renew both together.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
If tiles are loose, something behind them has usually failed. Grout on its own will not fix that, and we’ll tell you before we start.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Should corners be grouted or sealed?
We seal corners with silicone. They flex and grout cannot take that movement.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We replace the grout and reseal the edges.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Ventilate the room well to help it dry out.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. Once that happens, regrouting won’t fix it, so it’s worth acting early.
