Regrouting in Upstreet, done properly
Changing the grout colour is a simple way to update tiles. Light grout can go darker to hide marks or back again. Tell us what you have in mind when you ask for a quote. We work on kitchen splashbacks, tiled floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about good tiles let down by tired grout and floor grout that has worn and darkened.
Somewhere as small as Upstreet, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Regrouting around Upstreet
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Schools such as Chislet Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.
Upstreet is about 4 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We provide regrouting to homes and businesses in Upstreet, as part of our work across Kent. 922 places in Kent are on our list. For nearby work, see our Chelmsford page, about 42 miles away.

Quotes for regrouting in Upstreet
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Upstreet, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
When to call us in Upstreet
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Old grout in a dated colour
Letting a property close to Sturry station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Upstreet, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- The old grout is removed to an even depth.
- We vacuum the joints so the new grout bonds.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- We finish with silicone in the moving joints.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

FAQs for Upstreet
Will you come out to Upstreet?
Yes, Upstreet is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sturry station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Can you change the grout colour?
Yes. Many customers do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.

What the job involves on each surface
Kitchen splashbacks
Splashback grout picks up grease and cooking stains. Once it’s stained, new grout is often the only fix.
Bathroom wall tiles
Walls outside the shower get less water but grout there still discolours. New grout freshens them up.
