About our regrouting in Upper Upnor
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. If you are dealing with grout in corners that has cracked and grout that’s cracking and breaking up, we can help, on bathroom floors, kitchen splashbacks and tiled floors alike.
Being in a small place like Upper Upnor makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Upper Upnor homes and their sealant
Upper Upnor is within about 2 miles of the coast. Coastal homes, holiday lets and guest houses can see heavy bathroom use in busy months, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
Schools such as Wainscott Primary School are buildings too, and 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. For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip & St James, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant.

What else we do in Upper Upnor
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Keep the fan on after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common questions in Upper Upnor
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Upnor?
Yes, Upper Upnor is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take on hotel work around Upper Upnor?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. We will look at the rest of the room too and let you know if more needs doing.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
We generally do. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. Darker grout can hide marks and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What guarantee comes with the work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Upper Upnor, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- We renew the silicone at the corners and edges.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
Ask for a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.

Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, and then you are looking at retiling. Dealing with it now keeps it small. In a small place like Upper Upnor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
