Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
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, and we’ll explain our choice.
How we handle regrouting in Donkey Street
We check the tiles before any grout comes out. If any tiles are loose or sound hollow, we tell you, because regrouting won’t fix what’s behind them. With sound tiles, regrouting is a tidy, lasting improvement. If you’re dealing with grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and old grout in a dated colour, we can help.
For a small place like Donkey Street, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep the fan on after showering
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Rinse the tiles after showering
- 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, long before the grout does.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. Regrouting at this stage is straightforward, before the joints open up.
Do you need regrouting in Donkey Street?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- A grout colour that no longer suits the room
- Grout that is cracking and breaking up
- Kitchen splashback grout stained by grease
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
Rented homes near Westenhanger station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Donkey Street homes and their sealant
Donkey Street is within about 2 miles of 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. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, 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 All Saints, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It generally fails first.
Kitchen splashbacks
Grout behind the hob and sink works hard. We regroute and reseal the worktop joint.

- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.

- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

What else we do in Donkey Street
Why it’s worth doing now in Donkey Street
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Donkey Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
