Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the corner silicone every few months
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
Wipe the tiles down after a shower stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window to help it dry out.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through so it’s worth dealing with as soon as you spot it.
About our regrouting in Cheriton
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, bathroom floors and shower walls, and people most often call us about cracked or crumbling grout lines and old grout in a dated colour.
Around Cheriton, you will mostly find houses and bungalows, some older and some much newer. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cheriton
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. 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. In a smaller place like Cheriton, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

When to call us in Cheriton
Hard water and soap leave a film on grout and stick to it. The grout beneath can stain and weaken, and at that point, new grout is the better answer.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Grout washed out of a shower
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as All Soul's Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Surface by 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.
Kitchen splashbacks
A splashback can be regrouted without touching the worktop. The worktop edge is finished with silicone.
Your questions about regrouting in Cheriton
Do you take on hotel work around Cheriton?
Yes. Hotel and guest-house work is part of what we do. Jobs can be programmed room by room, with out-of-hours working possible to arrange.
Is Cheriton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes, plenty of people choose to. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee.
Is it possible to regrout only the shower area?
We can. We’ll check the other tiled areas as well and tell you if anything else needs attention.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
Loose or hollow tiles are a sign of a problem behind them. Regrouting alone isn’t the answer and we will say so before going ahead.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A leaking wet room membrane
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Cheriton homes and their sealant
Cheriton is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Cheriton has hotels and guest accommodation nearby. Hotel bathrooms are part of our work as well as homes, and can be done room by room.
Letting a property close to Folkestone West station? Then clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Souls, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

For a job in Cheriton, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
