DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
How we handle regrouting in Istead Rise
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, wet rooms and bathroom floors, and the jobs we see most are kitchen splashback grout stained by grease and shower grout that has worn away.
Homes around Istead Rise are mostly houses and cottages rather than flats, some with bathrooms tucked into older rooms or extensions. Sealant and grout wear out here just as they do anywhere: old material cut out, joints cleaned and a fresh finish laid.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Istead Rise
Regrouting around Istead Rise
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Letting a property close to Meopham station? Then stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right. If you look after a building such as Istead Rise Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Barnabus Church, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Stick to mild products for cleaning grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Wipe water off the walls when you are done
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.
If grout in the shower is washing out, act soon. Each shower drives water into the open joints and it can end up in the wall or the ceiling below.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Istead Rise, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Every tile area is checked for hollow or loose tiles first.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
- Silicone goes into the corners and along the edges.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access

Why deal with it now?
Regrouting keeps the tiles you already have. Retiling means stripping the walls, making good and choosing new tiles, and often a few days without a shower. When the tiles are fine, it’s the sensible first step. Older cottages and farmhouses around Istead Rise can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Bathroom floors
If floor grout keeps cracking, the floor may be moving. We look for loose tiles first.
Shower walls
Shower walls get wet every day, so its grout takes the most punishment. It usually fails first.
