Regrouting in Whetsted
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout can’t fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. We work on wet rooms, bathroom wall tiles and tiled floors, and people most often call us about corners filled with grout instead of silicone and shower grout that has worn away.
Being in a small place like Whetsted makes no difference to the job itself: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the bathroom or kitchen gets the same care as anywhere else.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room from start to finish. In a small place like Whetsted, 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.
- Dust and debris are vacuumed out of every joint.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Questions from Whetsted
Can you do regrouting in Whetsted?

Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
Yes, we often do. The shower usually fails first, so many people regrout just that part.
How long will you be here?
A typical job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room, including preparation and clearing up. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, including regrouting.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Regrouting around Whetsted
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Schools such as Paddock Wood Primary School are buildings too, and its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Five Oak Green Church, walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe or squeegee the shower walls
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough so early action pays.
Why it’s worth doing now in Whetsted
Once grout cracks, water can get behind the tiling. Leave it, and the adhesive or the wall behind can suffer, which turns a regrout into a retile. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. Older cottages and farmhouses around Whetsted can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Common problems we fix in Whetsted
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, which is when replacing it makes sense.
The most common problems we see are:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
