Raking out old, cracked or stained grout and regrouting tiled walls and floors for West Hythe, backed by a 12-month guarantee. Ask us for a quote.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Shower grout that has worn away
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Keep the fan on after showering
Give the new grout the time we tell you before using the shower, so it cures fully. From then on, a quick rinse after showering helps and keep the room ventilated.
Grout that’s washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints, and that water can reach the wall or the floor below.
Regrouting for homes and businesses in West Hythe
We regroute showers, bathroom walls and floors, splashbacks and wet rooms. Some jobs are a whole room, others just the shower. Whatever the size, the method stays the same. Common call-outs are for corners filled with grout instead of silicone and floor grout that won’t come clean, on wet rooms, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Somewhere as small as West Hythe, 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Your questions about regrouting in West Hythe
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like West Hythe?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you regrout just the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or the area where the grout has gone.
Can you regrout if a few tiles are loose?
Tiles that have come away need sorting first. We’ll show you which ones before any grout comes out.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What else we do in West Hythe
Why act early in West Hythe
Patching a few joints can look like a quick win, but the patches often don’t match and the old grout carries on failing. Regrouting the whole area gives an even, lasting finish. Around West Hythe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in West Hythe and across Kent. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.

What we are called out for in West Hythe
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout stained black or orange that will not clean
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Floor grout that will not come clean
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

West Hythe homes and their sealant
West Hythe 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, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
For landlords with property near Westenhanger station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Schools such as Lympne Church of England 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.
