About our regrouting in Budds
Stained, crumbling or cracked grout can make a sound bathroom look tired. With regrouting, the tiles stay and only the grout is renewed, so nothing is ripped out. We work on tiled floors, bathroom floors and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are floor grout that has worn and darkened and kitchen splashback grout stained by grease.
For a small place like Budds, regrouting is planned like any other job: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Common problems we fix in Budds
Grout used in corners or along the bath cracks as the bath or tray moves. Those joints should be silicone, and when they are not, water gets in.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned
- Splashback grout that has darkened
If you let a flat or house near Hildenborough station, a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Wipe water off the walls when you’re done
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so the sealant there will need renewing in time.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left for a few years, they can become a leak so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
Regrouting around Budds
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Giles, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. If you look after a building such as Shipbourne School, 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.

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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Budds, access is normally 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.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- We fill the joints with new grout, then clean the tiles.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
