Regrouting in Tickham, Kent
Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for homes and businesses in Tickham and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Keep the fan on after showering
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. A loose tile cracks the grout around it and lets water in.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
About our regrouting in Tickham
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, and sealant is what goes along the bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in, then reseal the corners and edges. Common call-outs are for cracked grout along the bath or tray and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, on bathroom floors, shower walls and kitchen splashbacks.
Being in a small place like Tickham makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Signs you need regrouting in Tickham
Grout that was put in corners cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and when they are not, water gets in.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. Somewhere like Tickham 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.
- 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.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Advice
Regrouting in Tickham: local notes
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lynsted and Norton Primary 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 happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. A thin skin on top tends to break off, taking any repair with it. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Tickham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

How the job changes by surface
Shower walls
Most regrouting jobs include a shower. Gaps here let water get behind the tiling.
Corners and edges
Internal corners move, so they get silicone, not grout.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
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.
Common questions in Tickham
Do you work for landlords with property near Teynham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Tickham within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Grout on its own won’t fix that, and we’ll tell you before any work starts.
Is regrouting a chance to pick a new grout colour?
Yes. It’s the ideal time to change it. Tell us the colour you’d like when you ask for a quote.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How soon can the shower be used after regrouting?
We’ll tell you on the day. It depends on the grout and the sealant used, so follow the time we give you.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A floor or wall that keeps moving
- Cracked or broken tiles
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
