How we handle regrouting in Durlock
Our applicators rake out the old grout to an even depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. After vacuuming, new grout goes in and the tiles are wiped clean, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on shower walls, tiled floors and kitchen splashbacks, and the jobs we see most are cracked or crumbling grout lines and splashback grout that has darkened.
Somewhere as small as Durlock, homes tend to be cottages, farmhouses or converted buildings, with some newer houses too. Movement in older walls and floors tends to show first as cracked grout or split sealant.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Durlock
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes. For landlords with property near Sandwich station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What affects the quote in Durlock
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Common questions in Durlock
I let a flat near Sandwich station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Durlock in your area for regrouting?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Durlock is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Durlock
With regrouting, your tiles stay where they are. Retiling is a much bigger job: stripping, making good, new tiles and new grout, and often a few days without a shower. If the tiles are sound, regrouting is the simpler fix. In a small place like Durlock, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Do not ignore a tile that feels loose
- Clean grout with a mild bathroom cleaner
- Keep an eye on the silicone along the edges
A squeegee or cloth over the tiles after use stops soap and water sitting on the grout. Run the extractor fan or open a window so the grout dries between uses.
Fixing grout early is a small job. Left, the same problem can let water through, so get it looked at when you notice it.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Tiles that have come away from the wall
- A structure that flexes behind the tiles
- Cracked or broken tiles
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
