Regrouting in Sturry, done properly
Grout fills the gaps between tiles, while sealant goes where tiles meet a bath, tray or worktop. When grout cracks or washes out, water has a way in behind the tiling. Our job is to rake it out and put new grout in and renew the silicone at the edges. We work on kitchen splashbacks, wet rooms and bathroom wall tiles, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the shower grout has gone and grout that’s cracking and breaking up.
Even in a smaller place like Sturry, bathrooms and kitchens see heavy daily use. Older or newer, every room gets the same approach: all the old material out, the joint cleaned and dried, then new sealant or grout.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Common problems we fix in Sturry
Poor ventilation keeps grout damp, giving mould a place to grow. When black spots keep returning, the mould has usually got into the grout.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Greasy, stained grout behind the hob
- Discoloured grout on otherwise sound tiles
- Crumbling grout between the tiles
If you look after a building such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Grout pens and paint-on colourants only cover the surface. They will not fill gaps or keep water out and stains often come back through. A proper regrout puts new grout in the joint. Homes in smaller places like Sturry can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- Over 20 years’ experience

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Skip wire brushes and scourers
- Have loose tiles looked at early
- Avoid neat bleach and strong acid descalers on grout
- Rinse the tiles after showering
Keep an eye on the silicone in the corners. It’s the part that moves, so the sealant there will need renewing in time, long before the grout does.
Tiles can come away if failed grout is left. By then, new grout alone isn’t enough, so it’s worth acting early.
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Leaks from pipes, valves or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Tiles that are chipped or split
- A leaking wet room membrane
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a shower enclosure, longer for a whole room. Parking around Sturry is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles for any that are hollow or loose.
- We rake out the grout evenly, protecting the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed clean.
- New grout is pressed into the joints and the tiles are cleaned.
