Regrouting around Maypole
Maypole is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, which wears sealant and grout out faster than in a quiet home. Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hoath Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

About our regrouting in Maypole
When grout stays dark however much you clean it, the stain is often in the grout itself. Replacing it is the lasting answer and you can pick a different colour while you’re at it. We work on bathroom floors, bathroom wall tiles and kitchen splashbacks, and common reasons people get in touch are grout stained black or orange that won’t clean and splashback grout that has darkened.
In a village or hamlet like Maypole, homes are often older cottages and farmhouses alongside a few newer houses. Older walls and timber floors can move a little, and cracked grout and split sealant are often the first signs.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Maypole: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do regrouting in Maypole?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Maypole is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. A lot of our jobs are only the shower, or just the joints that have failed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Somewhere like Maypole needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we check for loose or hollow tiles and point out any we find.
- Old grout is raked out to a consistent depth without chipping the tiles.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- Corners and edges are resealed with flexible silicone, not grout.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Signs you need regrouting in Maypole
Grout is porous, so it soaks up water, soap and dirt. Given time, it discolours and begins to break down, especially in a shower that is used every day.
Look out for these signs:
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Floor grout that has worn and darkened
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
Rented homes near Herne Bay station change hands often, and clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Different surfaces, different methods
Kitchen splashbacks
Kitchen grout collects grease and food splashes. Stained grout is best replaced.
Bathroom wall tiles
Whole bathroom walls can be regrouted in one visit or more, depending on the area. You can change the colour at the same time.
