Regrouting in Sheldwich Lees
We take the old grout out to a consistent depth, without damaging the edges of the tiles. The joints are then vacuumed, regrouted and cleaned off, with silicone renewed in the corners. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and shower walls, and the jobs we see most are shower grout that has worn away and grout in corners that has cracked.
For a small place like Sheldwich Lees, regrouting is planned like any other job: the journey and access are simply agreed in advance. In the bathroom or kitchen, the work is the same as in any town.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

What happens if it’s left?
New grout smeared over the old does not bond well. 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. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sheldwich Lees, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

What regrouting looks like in Sheldwich Lees
Most of the South East has hard water, which leaves limescale on sealant, grout and fittings, and it has to be cleaned off before new sealant goes in.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and bathrooms in older houses have often been refitted more than once, with sealant laid over sealant. Letting a property close to Selling station? Then a regrout while the flat is empty is quicker than working around a tenant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, we reseal washrooms and kitchens in schools and businesses as well as homes.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Sheldwich Lees, the journey is planned in advance: 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 start by checking the tiles for 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.
- Fresh grout goes into the joints and the tile faces are wiped clean.
- The corners and edges get new silicone, because grout there would crack.

- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
