About our regrouting in The Hythe
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout belongs between tiles, but corners and edges move, so they need flexible silicone instead. Doing both at once leaves the whole area sound. We are often asked to deal with gaps where the shower grout has gone and floor grout that has worn and darkened, on tiled floors, shower walls and bathroom floors.
In and around The Hythe, older properties sit alongside newer ones. In older homes, walls and floors can move a little more, so the right flexible sealant matters.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone isn’t the answer. We point that out first, so you can decide what to do. On sound tiles, regrouting avoids the upheaval of a retile. Around The Hythe, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

The Hythe questions
Is The Hythe within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for hotels and guest houses in The Hythe?
Yes, hospitality work, including hotels, is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Because the old grout is raked out, the new colour goes all the way into the joint rather than sitting on top.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Normally, yes. The corners and edges should be silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.

Bathrooms and kitchens in The Hythe
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings. There are hotels and other places to stay in and around The Hythe. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
If you let a flat or house near Hythe station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard at the Hythe, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Kendall Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
Leave the area unused for as long as we advise, so it can harden properly. After that, rinse the tiles after showering and let the room air.
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.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Movement in a stud wall or floor
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What the job involves on each surface
Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We check the tiles before regrouting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
