Why it’s worth doing now in Dockenfield
Regrouting won’t help where tiles have come away. We’ll tell you before we start, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In a small place like Dockenfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Regrouting for homes and businesses in Dockenfield
If you’ve been scrubbing grout that will not come clean, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We’re often asked to deal with grout in corners that has cracked and gaps where the shower grout has gone, across bathroom wall tiles, wet rooms and tiled floors.
Around Dockenfield, it’s houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. The work is the same as anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Your questions about regrouting in Dockenfield
Do you cover smaller places like Dockenfield?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Bentley (Hampshire) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
When to call us in Dockenfield
Most grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that’s used every day.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Grout in corners that has cracked
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Grout that’s cracking and breaking up
- Floor grout that will not come clean
Letting a property close to Bentley (Hampshire) station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Different surfaces, different methods
Wet rooms
Both the grout and the silicone in a wet room matter. We renew both.
Bathroom wall tiles
Splash areas around basins and baths stain first. We can do part of a wall or all of it.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
Use a gentle cleaner on the grout and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it, as they can break grout down.
Small problems with grout are quick to put right. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area for a typical job. In a small place like Dockenfield, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree what’s being done and flag any loose tiles.
- We remove the old grout carefully.
- The joints are cleaned out and vacuumed.
- We grout the joints and wipe the tiles clean.
- Internal corners and edges are resealed.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
How to get a quote
We quote each job on its own. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
