Regrouting in Upper Harbledown, done properly
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, taking care not to chip the tile edges. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and wet rooms, and people most often call us about splashback grout that has darkened and cracked grout along the bath or tray.
Around Upper Harbledown, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
If a tile starts to feel loose, get it looked at early. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Cracked grout doesn’t stay cracked for long. Water gets behind the tiles, and they can begin to come away, so regrouting early can save a retile.
Your questions about regrouting in Upper Harbledown
Do you work for landlords with property near Canterbury West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Upper Harbledown for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Upper Harbledown is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose tiles need refixing before regrouting. We will show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you grout the corners?
Flexible sealant. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Upper Harbledown needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- We regrout the joints and clean the tile faces.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
Ask for a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

What affects the cost of regrouting
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What we are called out for in Upper Harbledown
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:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
Letting a property close to Canterbury West station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Bathrooms and kitchens in Upper Harbledown
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St. Gabriel include some older properties, and timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Edmund's School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
