Regrouting for homes and businesses in Wilmington
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so there’s no stripping out and no new tiles to choose. If you’re dealing with greasy, stained grout behind the hob and dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Wilmington, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Look at the sealant in the corners now and then
- Get any tile that moves checked promptly
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
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 let the room air.
Grout that is washing out of a shower shouldn’t be left. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
The grout in a shower takes the brunt of the water. We rake it out and regrout and renew the silicone at the edges.
Bathroom floors
Regrouting a floor brightens the whole room. Floor-to-wall and bath joints are sealed, not grouted.
Common problems we fix in Wilmington
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks because those joints flex. They need flexible sealant, and if they’re grouted, a crack soon lets water in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
Letting a property close to Crayford station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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.
Regrouting around Wilmington
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
Homes close to St Barnabas include some older properties, and older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Wilmington Grammar School for Girls? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

If you manage several properties in or around Wilmington, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
What affects the quote in Wilmington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Silicone. Grout belongs between the tiles and moving joints need sealant.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room in most cases. Somewhere as small as Wilmington, access is often the only tricky part. 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
