Richborough Port questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Thanet Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Richborough Port?
Yes, Richborough Port is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Could my grout be a different colour after regrouting?
Yes. Many clients do. A darker grout hides marks better and lighter grout gives a fresher look.
What goes in the corners, grout or silicone?
Flexible sealant. Grout is for the joints between tiles, while corners and edges need a joint that can move.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Regrouting around Richborough Port
Richborough Port is close to the coast. Near the coast, holiday lets and guest houses can see bathrooms used by one guest after another, and sealant and grout that work that hard wear out sooner. Hard water is the norm across most of the South East, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
If you let a flat or house near Thanet Parkway station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners on grout
- Use a soft brush rather than a wire one
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
Check the corner silicone now and then. Corners flex, so it’s normally the first thing to need attention, long before the grout does.
Stains that won’t clean are a sign the grout is breaking down. At this point it’s a simple regrout, before the joints open up.
How we quote for regrouting
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
What the job involves on each surface
Corners and edges
We reseal edges at the same time as regrouting, so everything is renewed at once.
Kitchen splashbacks
We can regroute a splashback with the kitchen left in place. The joint along the worktop is resealed with silicone.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Richborough Port needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- The old grout comes out to a consistent depth, without damaging the tiles.
- We vacuum the joints and clean out the dust.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose tiles, which need refixing first
- Failed tanking or waterproofing under the tiles
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal

Do you need regrouting in Richborough Port?
Strong cleaning products and hard scrubbing slowly erode grout. Some bleaches and acid descalers break grout down over time, until the joints are rough and low.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where the shower grout has gone
- Good tiles let down by tired grout
- Stained grout that cleaning will not shift
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you look after a building such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, 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.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
