Drayton St Leonard homes and their sealant
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.
Rented homes near Culham station change hands often, and stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

How we handle regrouting in Drayton St Leonard
Before work begins, the tiles are checked. Loose or hollow tiles are pointed out first, since new grout cannot fix a problem underneath. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting gives the area a new lease of life. Typical jobs include gaps where the shower grout has gone and greasy, stained grout behind the hob, across tiled floors, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles.
Homes around Drayton St Leonard are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: everything old comes out before the new sealant or grout goes in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
- Give the walls a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Run the extractor fan during and after a shower
Clean the grout with a mild bathroom cleaner and a soft brush. Keep harsh bleach and acid limescale removers away from it because they wear grout away.
Grout that stays dark after cleaning is starting to fail. At this point it’s a simple regrout while the tiles are still sound.
Do you need regrouting in Drayton St Leonard?
Harsh cleaners and scrubbing wear grout away. Bleach and acidic limescale removers can attack it with repeated use, leaving the joints sunken and rough.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Dirty, worn grout on a tiled floor
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
Homes close to Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked or broken tiles
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Questions from Drayton St Leonard
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Culham station?

Do you cover Drayton St Leonard for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Drayton St Leonard is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we’re fully insured.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in those joints cracks as the building moves.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Normally we do both. Grout fills tile gaps and sealant handles the moving joints, so we renew both and include it in your quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
