Regrouting in Swattenden, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. Once grout starts to crack or wash away, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on tiled floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks, and people most often call us about grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor.
Somewhere as small as Swattenden, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Check the corner silicone every few months
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use keeps water off the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room for a typical job. Somewhere like Swattenden needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. Around Swattenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What we’re called out for in Swattenden
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. Loose tiles, bouncy floors and timber walls can all do it, so we check the tiles before work begins.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
Homes close to Congregational Church include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so the whole area is finished together.
Can I do it myself?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Swattenden
Do you cover Swattenden for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Swattenden is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on regrouting in Swattenden?
All our work, in Swattenden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally we do both. Grout and sealant do different jobs, so both are renewed and include it in your quote.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks, while lighter grout brightens a room.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We give you a time before we leave. The wait depends on the products and conditions, so follow the time we give you.

Regrouting in Swattenden: local notes
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Managing a site like Cranbrook School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
