How we handle regrouting in Tovil
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you have shower grout that has worn away and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease, we can put it right, on shower walls, bathroom floors and bathroom wall tiles alike.
In and around Tovil, older properties sit alongside newer ones. Older homes can move a little with the seasons, which is hard on tired sealant and rigid grout.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Tovil and everywhere else we cover.

Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
In a wet room, the whole floor gets wet, so sound grout really matters. We check for loose tiles before starting.
Bathroom wall tiles
Tiles away from the shower stay drier but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
Common problems we fix in Tovil
A bathroom that stays damp keeps the grout wet, giving mould a place to grow. Black marks that come back after cleaning are often in the grout itself.
The most common problems we see are:
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
In the older streets around St Michael and All Angels Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and go gently on the grout at first.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Every shower pushes more water into the gaps, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Common questions in Tovil
Do you cover smaller places like Tovil?
Yes. Tovil is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work in hotels near Tovil?
Yes, we work for hotels as well as homes and businesses. A room-by-room programme keeps most rooms in use while the work goes on.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you change the grout colour?
It can. With the old grout removed, the new colour fills the whole joint, not just the surface.
How we quote for regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- How we’d reach the joints
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. Replacing the grout and resealing the edges is a lasting fix. In an older home around Tovil, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Regrouting around Tovil
Tovil has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Rented homes near Maidstone West station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. If you look after a building such as Archbishop Courtenay 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 on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Tovil, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
