About our regrouting in Tarpots
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. Common call-outs are for stained grout that cleaning won’t shift and grout in corners that has cracked, on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
For a small place like Tarpots, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Tarpots 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.
Letting a property close to Benfleet station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Appleton 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 the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and lets water in.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
FAQs for Tarpots
Can you do regrouting in Tarpots?
Yes, Tarpots is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Tarpots?
Yes. Tarpots is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We will point them out before any grout comes out.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Somewhere like Tarpots 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.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints

Do you need regrouting in Tarpots?
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
Look out for these signs:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you live in an older home near St George, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
