Regrouting in Whitfield, Kent
Problem with your tiled areas in Whitfield? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
About our regrouting in Whitfield
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. If you have grout that makes sound tiles look old and old grout in a dated colour, we can put it right, on shower walls, bathroom floors and kitchen splashbacks alike.
Even in a smaller place like Whitfield, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: old sealant or grout cut out, joints cleaned and dried, and a fresh finish laid.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Whitfield and across Kent.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Parking around Whitfield is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.

Will regrouting fix loose tiles?

Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.

Whitfield homes and their sealant
Whitfield 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. Most of the South East has hard water, 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 Kearsney station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitfield Aspen School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Bleach can lighten stained grout for a while, but stains and mould that have soaked in tend to return. New grout, with silicone in the corners, deals with the cause. Around Whitfield, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Whitfield
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down and showers that get daily use suffer most.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Splashback grout that has darkened
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether you can choose the colour
