DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Regrouting in Kemsley Street, done properly
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 it’s a chance to change the colour too. We are often asked to deal with gaps where the shower grout has gone and a grout colour that no longer suits the room, across shower walls, tiled floors and bathroom floors.
Being in a small place like Kemsley Street makes no difference to the job itself: it just means planning the journey and access beforehand. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Bathrooms and kitchens in Kemsley Street
Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older homes can move a little, which is hard on rigid grout and tired sealant. Managing a site like Deanwood Primary School? Then its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. For a village or hamlet like Kemsley Street, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Kemsley Street questions
Will you come out to Kemsley Street?
Yes. Kemsley Street is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rainham (Kent) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How long will you be here?
Most jobs take a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you grout the corners?
Internal corners and edges are sealed with flexible silicone. Grout in a moving joint soon cracks.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you reseal at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. New grout beside old sealant wouldn’t look right and wouldn’t keep water out.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A leaking wet room membrane
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Wet rooms
- Tiled floors
- Bathroom floors

When to call us in Kemsley Street
Grout that was put in corners cracks because those joints flex. Those joints should be silicone, and when they aren’t, water gets in.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Cracked or crumbling grout lines
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

Landlord and commercial work in Kemsley Street
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What affects the cost of regrouting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We will send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
Cracked grout lets water behind the tiles. Left alone, that water can loosen tiles or damage the wall, and then you’re looking at retiling. Sorting it early keeps the job simple. In a small place like Kemsley Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
