Leave it or put it right?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. A thin skin on top tends to break off. Removing the old grout to an even depth lets the new grout key in properly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Westenhanger, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

Regrouting in Westenhanger
Across Westenhanger, we regrout tiled showers, bathrooms and kitchens. Out comes the old grout, the joints are cleaned and new grout goes in, and we finish by resealing the edges. If you are dealing with gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that makes sound tiles look old, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Westenhanger, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.

What regrouting looks like in Westenhanger
Westenhanger is close to 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.
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. Managing a site like Lympne Church of England Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. In a small place like Westenhanger, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking the tiles for any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
Have any tile that moves checked right away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
What the job involves on each surface
Wet rooms
Regrouting a wet room helps keep water on the surface of the tiles. It cannot fix waterproofing below the tiles.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
