How we handle regrouting in Thanington
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. Regrouting replaces the grout and keeps the tiles you have, so nothing is ripped out. We work on bathroom floors, tiled floors and bathroom wall tiles, and common reasons people get in touch are good tiles let down by tired grout and cracked or crumbling grout lines.
Even in a smaller place like Thanington, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

How we quote for regrouting
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that’s easy.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What regrouting looks like in Thanington
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. Thanington has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. As well as homes, we work in hotel bathrooms, where resealing and regrouting can be done room by room.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Canterbury Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Letting a property close to Canterbury East station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What we seal
- Tiled floors
- Shower walls
- Kitchen splashbacks
- Bathroom floors
- Bathroom wall tiles
- Wet rooms
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak, so get it looked at when you notice it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. A visit to Thanington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice

Leave it or put it right?
Cleaning products may brighten grout for a time, but mould that has got into grout usually comes back. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In an older home around Thanington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
