Regrouting in West Kingsdown, done properly
Regrouting is normally paired with resealing. Grout is for the joints between tiles, but internal corners and edges flex, so they’re sealed with silicone rather than grout. Renewing both together means nothing is left half-done. If you have grout that stays dark however much it’s cleaned and old grout in a dated colour, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around West Kingsdown, you’ll mostly find houses and bungalows, from older cottages to newer builds. Bathrooms and kitchens here get the same daily wear as anywhere, and the sealant and grout show it first.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Rinse soap off the tiles after each shower
- Use a squeegee on the tiles after showering
- Open a window or run the fan to clear steam
- Keep harsh bleach and acid cleaners off the grout
Before we leave, you will know when the shower can be used. Stick to that time, and avoid scrubbing the new grout hard for the first few days.
Leaving failed grout can mean tiles come loose. By then, new grout alone is not enough, so it’s worth acting early.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours, or longer for a fully tiled room. In a smaller place like West Kingsdown, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check the tiles are sound and flag any that are loose or hollow.
- We rake out the old grout to an even depth, taking care of the tile edges.
- The joints are vacuumed and cleaned.
- New grout is worked into the joints and cleaned off the tile faces.
- We reseal the internal corners and edges with silicone.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Common questions in West Kingsdown
I let a flat near Eynsford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is West Kingsdown within the area you cover?
Yes. West Kingsdown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on the area. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is resealing included with regrouting?
Usually, yes. Corners and edges need flexible silicone and doing both at once leaves everything sound.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What regrouting looks like in West Kingsdown
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 Saint Edmund, timber floors under older bathrooms flex, so joints need a sealant that moves with them. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School, its toilets, changing areas and kitchens need their sealant renewed like any other building’s.

Why act early in West Kingsdown
If tiles are loose, regrouting alone is not the answer. We’ll tell you before any work starts, so you can decide what to do. Where the tiles are sound, regrouting is far less disruptive than retiling. In an older home around West Kingsdown, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Do you need regrouting in West Kingsdown?
Some grout fails because it was mixed or laid badly. If it was mixed too wet or not pressed in firmly tends to wash out early.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grout in a colour the owner wants to change
- Grout that makes sound tiles look old
- Stained grout that cleaning won’t shift
- Corners filled with grout instead of silicone
For landlords with property near Eynsford station, stained grout drags a rental down, and regrouting between lets puts that right.
