DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What we’re called out for in Upper Hardres
When tiles or the wall behind them move, the grout cracks. That can be a loose tile, a flexing floor or a stud wall, which is why we check the tiles first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Surface by surface
Bathroom wall tiles
We can regroute all the walls in a bathroom, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
Shower walls
Showers put more water on grout than anywhere else. We replace it, and reseal the corners.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Upper Hardres, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We agree the area to be regrouted and point out any loose tiles.
- Grout is raked out without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- The new grout goes in, then the tile faces are cleaned.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
