When to call us in Pett Bottom
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, and damp grout is where mould grows. When black spots keep returning, the mould has normally got into the grout.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked grout along the bath or tray
- Old grout in a dated colour
- Floor grout that will not come clean
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and walls and floors in older homes can move, and sealant and grout show it first.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- The length of the guarantee
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold

Advice
FAQs for Pett Bottom
Do you cover Pett Bottom for regrouting?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Pett Bottom is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is Pett Bottom within the area you cover?
Yes, Pett Bottom is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
What if some of my tiles are loose?
New grout can’t hold loose tiles in place. We flag any loose or hollow tiles before starting so you know where you stand.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you reseal at the same time?
In most cases, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Do you regrout part of a bathroom, like the shower?
Yes. Many jobs are just the shower walls, or the area where the grout has gone.
What regrouting looks like in Pett Bottom
Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you look after a building such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, washroom and kitchen sealant there needs the same care as at home, and schools and businesses are part of our work as well as homes. If you let a flat or house near Bekesbourne station, clean grout and fresh sealant between tenancies make a bathroom look cared for again.

What sealant work cannot fix

- Water coming from plumbing rather than grout
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles

What happens if it’s left?
Grouting over old grout rarely lasts. It sits thinly on top and soon flakes away, taking any repair with it. Raking out to a consistent depth gives the new grout something to hold. In a small place like Pett Bottom, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean with a soft brush, not anything metal
- Don’t ignore a tile that feels loose
- Do not use strong acidic cleaners on grout
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Have any tile that moves checked straight away. Movement will crack the new grout and open a path for water.
Stains that will not clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
